Smoking after having wisdom teeth removed

[Ganj]

Good or bad idea?

I've heard smoking cigarettes after having them removed (for the first few days) is a terrible idea, but what about bud?

Smoke NOTHING after having your wisdom teeth removed. If you do, you will risk what they call "Dry Socket." You don't want that!!!

Yep, what he says. Also, don't use a straw to drink anything.

I ended up getting dry socket and they had to shove a bunch of clove tar into the holes. No fun!!!

Make yourself some yummy brownies.

It's only for like three days after. I'm fine with going three days without pot as long as it means no pain. It sucks for you if you can't go three days without it for that reason, though.

I had a few bad teeth for years but never went to a dentist until I was 30. I wouldn't go because of a bad experience with one as a kid.

The dentist told me NOT to smoke. The first thing I did when I got out was make a joint. The pain that followed for the next few days was worse than the initial tootache.

It stops the blood from clotting and my whole jaw got infected. Antibiotics wouldn't work, absolute nightmare.

DO NOT SMOKE after extraction :cry:

"Dry socket" is when the hole the tooth was taken from gets sucked dry from pulling on it with either a cig or straw or even just messing with it with your tongue.

The nerve endings in the area of the socket are much closer to the surface of the gums and become super sensitive to heat and cold.

It will keep the socket from healing correctly.

One way they resolve the problem is to numb it and abride it with a tool that makes it bleed again and fill the socket again. You don't want to go through that.

Drink no carbonated bev's or anything that can dislodge that clot for 72 hours.

If you want to get high, just eat some after grinding it good where you can just swallow it.

Good luck to you.

Ha! My teeth never hurt now. I keep them in a glass by my bed at night!
