I don't know if it's safe but I would do it! LOL!!!!
I'm not entirely sure that it is safe, but I'd have a couple drinks too! I imagine since it was a local anesthetic (pretty sure i messed up the spelling on that one) that you're fine. If they gave you pain meds or some other kind injection, or something that put you out- then you'd have to pass on the drinks.
I was told no pain killers mixed with alcohol when I had knee surgery, so I wouldn't do it. But I don't know if that applies to oral/local. However, random note, sudafed is ok with alcohol according to my pharmacist.
Local anesthesia is starting to leave your system once it wears off. However, you may be given pain medication that is to be taken immediately afterward which should not be mixed with any alcohol. The best thing to do is contact the dentist (they may have an after hours number you can call with questions) to find out or play it safe and wait until all medication is out of your system, including any drugs you may have been prescribed.
@soonerpsych, I wonder why Sudafed is ok with alcohol but others are not. Seems odd since the same ingredients are in medications that should never be mixed with it. That is interesting though.
Yeah, that's why I was wondering- I didn't know if the effect was different because it was local vs. having more serious medication like pills/painkillers etc. Maybe I'll just get a virgin rita'- their raspberry ones are a-mazing!!
Definitely stick with virgin drinks until you get the ok from your dentist otherwise.
What's ironic is that they put SO much sugar on the rim- I just had my teeth fixed...lol I hope I'm not sounding like Karen on Will and Grace- just wanted to keep things on the safe side!

Hi Bees,
FI wants to go out to Chili's and get a few drinks at the bar later tonight. However, today I had two cavities filled and had to be injected 3x with novocaine/whatever the dentist used to go numb. Is it safe to have a drink or two tonight after the numbness wears off, or would the alcohol/medication prove to be a bad combo?
