WHAT!!??
ARE YOU NUTS??
Only people who are crazy, stupid, or just like to smell bad or cause fires SMOKE.
Nicotine "HAS" gotten you also it seems!
Everyone I know has either died or is slowly dying because of it.
Have you noticed that the only people who WANT you to smoke are the funeral parlors, and tobacco companies?.
KICK it while you have this chance. You may not get another.

Why don't you use this opportunity to quit? This is a chance of a lifetime! Sqeeze through 72 hours, and you shouldn't need to smoke again! I have two relatives I could name off the top of my head who died from lung cancer induced by smoking, and one who almost did, but the hospital didn't want to see both husband and wife die in the same decade, from the same ailment, while both in their care. If you can, please don't start back! |

If I was you I'd quit smoking those cancer sticks. Consider this take a $50 bill and burn it that's what your really doing with your money when you smoke. Also consider this fact those tobacco exectives they don't smoke either what does that tell you? |

If you haven't been smoking for all this time why pick up again? You know smoking is bad for you all around. |

The main issue with smking after having any tooth removed is the possibility of getting "dry socket" which you DO NOT want. It is extermely painful, and there is really no treatment for it. If your gums have healed together.. not a large gaping hole.. you should be out of risk.
The norm is 24 hours.. but if you are really concerned you can cover the area with the gause (I am sure you were provided some by the dentist that removed the tooth) and take small drags of the cigarette. Dry socket can be caused by a suction that is created in your mouth that creates a void between the healing (the clot that forms on top of the removal site) and your gums-- you literally will have a dry pocket of air. You want that clot to heal over (basically forming a scab). |

As a dentist I can tell you that I usually recommend that my patients always wait to smoke for AT LEAST 72 hours after extraction. It is best to wait longer (ie: a week), but after the first 72 hours the chance of a dry socket does decrease considerably. If you MUST smoke, cover the extraction site with moist gauze and take small puffs, avoid taking deep puffs as this can dislodge the clot. Continue to take any prescribed antibiotics and pain medication (as needed) and after 24 hours following extraction you should begin GENTLE warm salt water rinses to help prevent any infection. Cold compresses will also help reduce swelling and will also help remove minor aches/pain you may have after your extraction. Good luck |
