I got my wisdom teeth removed on the 21'st of August and I was just wondering when can I go back to normal. School is starting on Tuesday and I usually take a water bottle and juice box, both I use a straw with. I know you aren't supposed to use a straw after the procedure but for how long? My sockets aren't completely healed, I actually had 2 dry sockets in the bottom so it was kind of delayed. I'm also legal drinking age and they say to not have alcohol either and there is a huge charity party that is coming up so I was wondering if it would be safe to drink at that. I don't want to delay my recovery but if I can go back to normal now I totally would!
