i've had my wisdom teeth pulled and never bothered to skip the smoking part...also drank beer with the percs so i had carbonated drinks also...but i did skip the straws. i got a couple dry sockets and it's not as bad as they say. for me anyways...the percs and beer fixed everything. a dry socket is what it's called when the hole loses the scab, which will happen sooner or later anyway. just be sure to pace yourself with the pain pills and during the day, try going without as long as possible to build up more for at night when it'll hurt the worst.

but it all really depends on how you feel now and how easily it went with the extractions. hope they didn't have to tear up your gums to get at the roots and they just popped right out with a flick of the dentist's wrist! like mine went...not a bit of swelling either when i had mine done 15 or so years ago when he pulled 2 at a time over a 4 week period. piece of cake...
del... Reviewed by del... on . Wisdom teeth and smoking Excuse my arrogance for not knowing this.So Tuesday I got 4 wisdom and 1 mullar teeth pulled out.They told me no carbonated drinks or straws for 24 hours.They also said no smoking.Its now Friday night (obviously) do you think if I were to smoke a bowl that could increase my chances of dry socket...or whatever its called.Better yet do you think it can get infected, because my jaws still a little swollen.
