Smoking Pot after Wisdom Teeth removal

[napolitana869]

I got mine out on monday and I waited 3 days to smoke, but I'm still trying to pull pretty lightly.

It's best to wait about a week, smoking can cause "dry sockets" and affect healing, if you have to smoke inhale through your noise only, I used a bong with a straw when I had all teeth pulled 8 months ago, I heard dry sockets are the worst pain related to pulling teeth and was not willing to risk it, besides if you get good pain meds you won't need/want it.

i got codeine and just took it as prescribed because my mouth was sore.

I know this is too late for this thread, but for future reference, if you are going to use cannabis after tooth extractions, please eat it - don't smoke it. You can get a dry socket, and those suck. They are painful and take forever to heal. The drug itself won't hurt your recovery (usually) - it's more the action of sucking smoke down and the irritants in the smoke itself that can hurt your extraction site.

Edit: It is way too late now but for anyone else I would lay off to be safe, it's just one day.

is it bad to smoke weed and take a vicodin for back pain simultaneously?

when i had my wisdom teeth removed i got the most unbelievable lecture of my life from the nurse, and also the doc. if my wife hadn't been there to confirm it actually happened, i'd think i dreamed it.

went something like this:

"these are the dangers of this procedure: you can die, you can bleed out and die, you can get a DRY SOCKET, and let me tell you honey, i've given birth, and i'd rather GIVE BIRTH WITHOUT ANESTHETIC IN THE BACKSEAT OF A CAR than get a DRY SOCKET (those were here EXACT words), so don't smoke, don't mess with it..............."

then doc comes in

"ok, so we're gonna take your wisdom teeth out"

me: "yup"

doc: well do you want to be sedated ?

me: well, you know the procedure, whatever you usually do

doc: well, what do YOU want me to do?

me: you want me to tell you what to do?

doc: well?

me: uhh............just knock me out and don't fuck up, please



needless to say i wasn't terribly comforted when i was getting gassed on the table.............sheesh, thanks for the you-can't-sue-us-now death talk from the friendly ortho-people. when i picked up my prescrip after the operation the person told me the doc i saw did 100's of these op's a weak and made a fortune off it. it's practically all he did. just an assembly-line of big-billing fast and quick wisdom teeth pulls

yikes

true store good luck!

I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. i woke up after the surgery i felt really sick and i threw up in the parking lot, but since my stomach was empty it was just a bloody mess dripping from my face. Then when i went home i fell asleep, woke up several hours later with dried blood all over my pillows (i spit out the gauze), and promptly went to smoke some weed.:thumbsup: I smoke using a bucket aka gravity bong, and i didnt have any bad effects in the surgical area. Ive smoked the same way twice today already. They gave me a bottle of 40 t-3s but I dont want any codeine. the pain isnt bad enough for that..have just been taking advil, when i absolutely have to. they are much easier on my stomach than tylenol-3s.
