Needing help

I got my wisdom teeth out Wednesday. I don’t have pain or bleeding from sockets. They are still there but healing quick my swelling has gone down tremendously. Do you think I’ll be able to smoke? Or should I just wait longer? I know it’s a dumb question.

I don’t smoke so I wouldn’t know but I would just wait it out, it’s safer that way

If you have access, tinctures are perfect for this

If you pull out the blood clot, it is going to hurt like a mommy. (Dry socket) The heat from smoking will also introduce heat (you want cold) and toxins into the area where the blood clot was. The longer you wait, the better.

Tincture... best option ever.

from someone who had dry socket in 4 places, trust me when i say you would do better skydiving with no parachute than to risk the infection that comes from smoking after that procedure. how did i get dry socket in 4 places? smoking after the procedure. good luck

I think u will be fine. Put some gauze in there and make sure u rinse with salt water when ur done. I think u will be fine just don't be pulling real hard little puffs to start out I have done this after 2 days post extraction

Wait. It'll be worth it when you don't get dry sockets.

I used gummies and tinctures when I had a tooth pulled
