Dry socket + smoking?

HELLO,

best to wait until all gets healed

ps, if a dry socket would occur it's within 24-48 hours post extraction and its pain is agonizing

When you smoke, you create negative pressure in the mouth which can prevent blood from forming clots in the sockets and may cause clots that have formed to dislodge.

Because there is no good reason to smoke and many reasons not to smoke, you might be wise to consider abstaining altogether. You seem to have been successful with not smoking for several days at a time.

OMG - I feel ya! Dry socket hurts! I would give it at least another week so that dry socket doesn't develope anywhere else. Multiple drysocket worse... trust me. To this day I can't tolerate the smell of cloves.

If you can go that long without smoking - quit! Seriously.

I had dry socket and didn't do anything to cause it, it just happens sometimes.

By smoking you will make your dry socket worse or make it longer. You shouldn't smoke until it's all healed up.

my wife has had a lot of teeth pulled she smoked the same day if your going to get dry socket then your going to get it there are lots of web sites out there that can help preventing it but as far as smoking i really don't think it will have any effect

If you had a dry socket you would know all about it, you wouldn't need a dentist to tell you.

I had one molar yanked ,dentist said 24 hrs., or the socket. I was able to smoke through my nose/nostril 3 hrs. after,,, ., I don't recommend It.

Do your best to wait until the area has completely healed and is no longer an open wound. That is an extremely painful experience!

Try to stop smoking. It'll save you all the hassle.
