Let\u2019s break it down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s the thing right after your composite bonding, your tooth might feel a bit sensitive. That\u2019s totally normal. In the first 24\u201348 hours, your dentist will tell you to be a bit careful about what you eat and drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, can you drink coconut water? Yes. But let\u2019s talk timing and <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">why it matters<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>First 2 Days: Move Slow<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Picture this. You just walked out of the dental chair.

Sugar sticking around your teeth overnight? Not ideal.
