I don't smoke, but my mom just got some teeth removed and started smoking two days later. Is that ok or should she have waited?

I'm unsure what living in a TRAILER park has to do with anything. I do NOT live in a trailer or a trailer park.

HI,
YOUR MOM WAS OK TO START SMOKING JUST 2 DAYS LATER. TOO BAD THAT SHE JUST DID NOT STOP. IF SHE CAN GO 2 DAYS WITHOUT SMOKING, SHE SHOULD HAVE JUST QUIT. I KNOW YOU PROBALBY WANTED HER TO. OH WELL. PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. THE ONLY THING SHE HAS TO WATCH OUT FOR IS DRY SOCKETS. IF SHE STARTS TO HAVE ALOT OF PAIN IN THE EXTRACTION SITES, SHE HAS TO GO HAVE THOSE HOLES MEDICATED. GOOD LUCK.

the quandary with smking after having any the tooth bumped off is the opportunity of having "dry socket" which you do no longer prefer. this is extermely painful, and there is somewhat no treatment for it. in the experience that your gums have healed at the same time.. no longer a huge gaping hollow.. try to be out of hazard. The norm is 24 hours.. yet once you're somewhat in contact you could cover the area with the gause (i'm particular you have been presented some via the dentist that bumped off the the tooth) and take small drags of the cigarette. Dry socket could nicely be brought about via a suction this is created on your mouth that creates a void between the therapeutic (the clot that types on correct of the removal website) and your gums-- you somewhat could have a dry pocket of air. you prefer that clot to heal over (in certainty forming a scab).

Tell your mum she shouldnt really smoke till the wound has healed or atleast give it 24hrs. However if shes anything like me and couldnt poss go that long without a ciggarette tell her to get some antsepic mouthwash for after dental treatment. I use CORSODYL. Be sure to follow instructions though. Tell your mum to wash her mouth out with salted water after each ciggarette this will minimise any infection in the gum from the smoke

I smoke
five minutes after any dental procedure
to help calm my nerves. The only problem I've run into is that because your mouth is frozen, it really doesn't perceive that there is a cigarette there so you end up having a real hard time taking a drag.

Smoking increases chance of drysocket because she's creating the vacuum which can suck out the blood clot. If she does than you can tell her that it's her own fault. At our clinic we usually told smokers to wait a couple of weeks to ensure proper healing..

two days is more than enough time for someone to smoke after having dental work done. I don't promote smoking but it is legal and will not harm the dental work.

she should quit or does she want all of her teeth removed? smoking...in case she likely doesn't know...constricts blood vessels, delays healing and, well makes you stink. perhaps she could take this opportunity to allow her body to heal and give it a break.

It really don't matter, it is just an old wives tale that sucking can cause dry socket. Just suck easily on the cigerette and you will be fine.

No 48hrs is the recomended time frame. She is fine.
