You can brush. Just be really careful to avoid the extraction sites and don't swish and spit excessively b/c you don't want to disturb the clots . Drink what you wish but do not use a straw. Eat what you want. As long as you chew slowly and avoid the extraction sites, you'll be fine. I ate a full breakfast out at a restaurant the day after my wisdoms were extracted.
