“Can I drink coffee after dental bone graft?”
I'm going to have a dental bone graft and my appointment is in the morning. I usually drink a couple of cups of coffee throughout the day. Is it okay for me to drink my coffee after my bone graft?

Make sure the coffee is room temperature and not too hot
I would wait until the day after
I would stay away from hot food or drink for 48hrs after oral surgery.
Coffee is fine, but often the surgeon also places a prp membrane which means absolutely no alcohol, so don't spike your coffee!!
Generally it's not the drink itself but the temperature of it that can an issue, hot fluids or food may cause increase in swelling depending on the treatment length, how atraumatic it was, and location of graft, also medication to control swelling will also impact the amount of swelling a patient would experience. That being said lukewarm fluids could be consumed without creation of negative pressures in your mouth, namely using straw should be avoided
Hi,
I recommend you ask your surgeon. It depends on the anesthesia they used and other care you might need to address.

This would depend on the extent and location of the graft. It is a question best asked of the dentist/surgeon performing the graft.
It is usually ok to have coffee. If you are having sedation for the bone graft that likely you were instructed to have nothing by mouth at least 4 to 8 hours prior to your procedure. Coffee after the procedure is usually allowed, however you are going to want to let the coffee cool down before drinking it. You do not want to increase the chance of post-op bleeding. Cold things are better.
Follow your doctor's instructions. Once your numbness wears off you can eat or drink. Just make sure your coffee is not too hot. You will be able to eat on the side that was not worked.
After you finish drinking or eating rinsing your mouth with warm water or warm salt water will be good for your mouth tissues.
