I'm assuming you've either gone or not gone now!
Alcohol free beer is basically pop. So unless you were advised not to drink pop, you'd be fine.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -

I keep my instructions pretty simple if it's just a straightforward extraction.Dry sockets happen pretty randomly, I don't think anything specifically 'causes' them. Some practices do have lists of cautions that seem to me to be a tad excessive. Although these days, it always a big mistake to assume common sense is 'common', and there's always someone who will complain/sue unless you cover every single eventuality!How to find a dentist.
