i just got my wisdom teeth pulled and have a question that should have been aimed at the doctor but maybe some 1 here knows
i have the self dissolving stiches and heard from my friend i cant smoke because they will dissolve and need to be replaced
so can i smoke if not when is it safe to thnx
not sure, i'd call the doc and ask him
smoke can't dissolve those stitches.. i had some teeth pulled and had the same ones.. i was smoking a pack a day or more at that point (weed smoke wouldn't be any diffrent) and they stayed in even longer than the time i had them with another pulling....
they disolve with liquid.. the wetness in your mouth is what makes them dissolve...
i had surgery and had those stitches, i dont think it will tear them up, i had 12 of those in my mouth and swallowed them all within 2 days, it feels so wierd when there floating on top of your mouth
nope, wont happen, toke as much as you want
haha thanks guess ill be toking away
dont smoke for 24 hours. i work at a dentists office
Yeah listen to BizzleLuvin
smoking wont dissolve the stitches, it will just retard the healing process and possibly cause an infection. i was translating this morning for a spanish gentleman who was complaining that his gums wouldnt stop bleeding around the entry point of a recent root canal. i had to keep telling him that he had to stop smoking or the wound wouldnt heal. he told me he thought it helped.
i think you're friend is probably confused as to why you're not supposed to smoke after getting teeth pulled.. lol
lol good chance sounds like somethin he would do but i think ill let the stiches heal for a few days before lightin up again
You don't want to be sucking on anything after an extraction ;)
