Well I used to smoke, I quit almost 3 years ago, but anyways, this is kinda the same type of thing... I had my tongue pierced and smoked so many cigarettes that I had to take it out. What happens is you might irritate it so much that it can get infected or you could get dry socket, which I had when I had my wisdom teeth pulled and that hurts immensly. Maybe just one but definitely rinse with listerine or a similiar mouth wash afterward, and only have one cigarette!! Wait a few hours or more if you have to have another and don't smoke the whole thing just take a few drags. Smoke is an extremely powerful irritant and your mouth is sooo sensitive right now!

OMG do not do it. the pain is not worth it. I did not listen, I tried to cover the spot that the tooth was pulled. it did no good. dry socket is the worst pain ever. the pain was so bad, I thought I was loosing my mind. I have had a c section, lung surgery ( they cut from the middle of my back, to the middle under my breast, cracked my ribs, and I had 30 stitches) the dry socket pain was ten times worse. And on top of the pain, I had to go back in and have socket packed. now that was a night mare....there is no way to disribe the pain of a dry socket. heck I smoke one to two packs a day for over 15 years, So I am not one to judge and say stop smoking. i quit six years ago and to this day I will not judge a smoker or put them down.. anyways. the cigerett is not worth it. hold out another day or two. you will not even enjoy the cigerrett, the pain will come on so fast, before your even done smoking.

OK, I am an ex- smoker but to answer your question, I used to smoke as soon as I got to my car. Just know that it increases the chances of getting a dry socket which I understand is very painful.

If you smoke a cigarette after getting a tooth pulled you could get a dry socket and that hurts like crazy. You should atleast wait one whole day without using straws or sucking on anything that way the gum has time to atleast heal the open hole in your head.....have you ever had a dry socket? I haven't,but my dentist says it's one way to see a grown man cry......I mean crocodile tears! He's says it's worse than breaking your arm.

If you hadn't had a smoke and a long time well maybe you should have one.Because i am a smoker and i know how you feel so you should go ahead and have one because if you are wanting something you should do it because you might not have another chance to do what you want to do and you never know what may happen.

If you smoke you could cause what is called a dry socket. Basically what that is, its when the blood clot comes out of the socket where the tooth use to be. It causes the area to heal slower and also cause pain.

even as your doctor (or you) comprises a call it really is seem after to slurp from a straw. the danger is the sucking which will reopen the holes. so as right away as they're healed your good. Sorry that would favor to suck. i'm 20 or maybe if have not gotten my knowledge tooth. i do no longer imagine of i'd favor to stop smoking for that.

Man I had to smoke coming home. The deal is you may suck the clot out and it won't heal up. If it was bad, just put a piece of gauze in the hole and light up. And yea, you and me need to quit !

It's all on you....but I hear dry-socket occuring from doing that is not so pleasant...in fact, it's really painful. That being said, my mom had 6 teeth pulled, came out of the office with bloody gauze shoved in her mouth and lit up immediately.....no problem....Do as you please but just know you might regret it...then again, maybe nothing will happen. Good luck!
