Smoking is generally not recommended for two weeks after wisdom teeth extraction.
1. After wisdom teeth extraction, there are wounds from the extraction, and the blood clot in the wound is generally unstable within 24 hours. Smoking at this time will create a negative pressure environment in the mouth, destroying the blood clot and easily causing bleeding. Tobacco also contains tar, nicotine and other harmful substances, which affect the healing of the extraction wound. Literature shows that smoking after tooth extraction is prone to dry socket syndrome, the main symptom is severe pain in the alveolar bone, the pain can radiate to the lower jaw or ear temporal region.
2. In addition, the tooth extraction wound usually takes 1-2 weeks to close the soft tissue, so smoking is not recommended within two weeks. Smoking is harmful to your health, so it is generally recommended to quit smoking.
Consult your doctor for specific precautions after tooth extraction.
