Smoking Pot after Wisdom Teeth removal

[Nugget Lover]

I am getting my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow morning and I heard from someone that you weren't supposed to smoke the same day after surgery. Has anyone else heard this or experienced this?

I wouldn't to be safe. Though it might help with pain, it may also temporarily thin your blood, which may be bad after surgery. But I'm not a doctor. Ask the dentist/a doctor.

You really shouldn't smoke cannabis or cigs after have teeth removed because it stops the blood from clotting in your gums and can cause an infection.:thumbsup:

They told me not to smoke afterwards, but obviously they were referring to tobacco. Although, again obviously, similar risks apply to weed.

I had it done a Friday morning, that Saturday night (the whole town was out because of homecoming or other things) I got drunk, took a vicodin, and walked around my neighboorhood smoking a joint at 10 at night.

Smartest thing to do? No, but I smoked a few times in the following week and it didn't seem to have any negative effects, if you do plan on doing it don't overdo it.

if you can't smoke,you can always make tea. its easy and there's a recipe on cann.com somewhere....

A lot of the problem is when you inhale, you create suction in the mouth, and this pressure will disrupt the scabbing/healing process. You can have a "blow out". When I got my wisdom teeth pulled I blew my nose and started bleeding from one of the sockets. Its crazy how everything is all connected in there, pressure transfers all over the place (sinuses/throat/ears etc etc).

wait a day then use a bong and take light hits... don't smoke out of a joint or blunt.

On a side note what pain killers do I get and how many? lol

First off, the suction can be bad for the healing process...this goes for tobacco and cannabis alike. Secondly, cannabis dries the mouth which is a bad thing when you are healing. It concentrates the bacteria that every mouth has. I had most of my teeth pulled a few years ago, and yes, I smoked as soon as I got home from the dentist. I also kept my mouth moist by lots of drinking liquids (mostly water). Roll your joints looser than normal so you won't need as much suction and drink liquids! Everything healed up just fine. - Granny:hippy:
