you should wait at least 60 or 70 more years before you consider smoking again. specific recommendations regarding smoking after a tooth extraction should only come from the oral surgeon that did the work. those sutures are most likely the dissolvable type and it can take weeks for them to dissolve. call your oral surgeon and serious consider permanent smoking cessation. i'm pretty sure they recommend you wait at least 24 hours although it would be optimum to quit <positive_smiley> sometimes that is a little harder said than done. i was lucky to make it one hour when i smoked lol
i got stitches and a filling over the stitches after tooth extraction. how long do i wait to smoke? . i went to finish a tooth extraction today that the doctor couldn't finish last friday. however he still couldnt finish it because the pain was unbearable. now he recommended me to an oral surgeon and gave me stitches and put some sort of filling ( although i'm not sure what it was) on top of my stitches. it stopped the bleeding. how long should i wait to smoke? will smoking harm that area even if i wait 4 days?
