Its mostly because the sucking action you need to do to smoke a cigarette. Sucking on anything can cause a blood clot to come out prematuraly. If that happens it could cause dry socket. Dry Socket only happens in 5% of all tooth extractions. I know a lot of people that smoked the same day as tooth extractions. Just be very careful if you must and rinse out your mouth after. Just plain water on the same day and warm salt water the days after that. The salt will minimize bacteral growth... so the more the better. Just dont swish it around your mouth too hard.
A common complication after having wisdom teeth pulled is called dry socket. This is when the clots that have formed in the holes where the wisdom teeth were come out. The most common cause for this would be suction. Therefore, for a short period of time after the extraction, the dentist or oral surgeon would ask the patient to not do such things as drink through a straw, smoke, or do other things that involve creating suction in the mouth.
Smoking after tooth removal is not recommended for three reasons:
1. Any suction, as in inhaling a cigarette, can cause the blood clot in the socket to discharge prematurely. This is a condition known as "dry socket" a very painful condition.
2. Warm dry air from a cigarette can also cause the premature loss of the blood clot.
3. Nicotine, a major component of cigarette smoke, inhibits the healing process by slowing down cells called osteoblasts. These cells are primarily responsible for creating connective tissue in the body. Connective tissue is an important part of bone and gum tissue.
It's just plane bad to smoke period.
Contact your dentist, if you're throwing up they'll want to know.

I had to get all my upper teeth pulled. I put it off for years until they all started to fall out. I applied for a care credit card. It is 0% intrest as long as you don't miss a payment. Plus it is low payments. Look into it.
No i have done it before and it is virtually painless :) plus if you have your teeth pulled by a dentist they usually numb it so you cant feel it but still after the anaesthetic it will hurt A LOT hope this is not making you scared :)
why dont you have the numbing because i did when i was 5 years old i had the 3 teeth out because they got infected or somthing like that. but if you dont want the numbing its proberly 50-100£ or more. with numbing you dont feel any pain what so ever. but if you have some kind of allergy to the numbing stuff i guess yu cant do that.
Plenty of people go to their graves with teeth in their heads.
Wisdom teeth is the common name for 3rd molars. We are biologically programmed to have three molars in each quadrant. However, Wisdom teeth or 3rd molars are one of the most commonly congenitally missing teeth, the others being lateral incisors and 2nd premolars. Therefore, some of us may have less than 4 wisdom teeth or not at all. If we all had all the wisdom teeth that we are supposed to have then we should have 4 in total (one for each quadrant)
I asked my oral surgeon at my appointment on Friday and flew cross country from California to Baltimore two days later on Sunday morning after having all four wisdom teeth removed. The pressure associated with flying doesn't impact your clotting or post surgery wounds and flying provided no additional discomfort.
teeth your you cant eat is fun to eat lol
Your teeth are for biting not breathing.
i had my number 15 tooth extracted exactly a week ago today, and i still continue to have pain. i can also feel with my tounge, little sharp pieces/shards in the extaction area. i think the are pieces of my tooth still in the gum from when the dentist was gutting the tooth in half. i have even pulled a little pices of the shards out and i think that the shards are making the extraction area not heal well... i cant drink anything cold or i will drop to my knees in severe pain. i am not sure what to do either...
