It's generally recommended to wait at least 72 hours after a tooth extraction before smoking without gauze. Smoking can hinder the healing process and increase the risk of complications like dry socket. Always follow your dentist's specific advice, as individual recovery times may vary. If in doubt, consult your dentist for personalized guidance.
What else can I help you with?
If you already have dry sockets and have medicated numbing gauze inserted is it ok to smoke?
It is likely that the smoking caused the dry sockets. The suction created when you smoke can cause the blood clot to loosen and create a dry socket. If you continue to smoke, even with the gauze in place, you may continue to have problems.

Is it ok to smoke a cigarette after getting wisdom teeth pulled with gauze over the sockets?
Only if you want to take the risk and pain of dry sockets. Even if you have gauze over the open sockets you are still sucking in air and drawing that smoke and air into the sockets. Think about it. Gauze is not a solid bandage. It is absorbent to prevent bleeding but still allow a minimum amount of air to promote healing. When you are dragging on a cigarette you are increasing the volume of air to the at risk area drying up what the gauze is trying to keep moist for the purpose of healing. I would recommend strongly against it.
Can you smoke directly after you have your wisdom teeth extracted?
You can pack the site with moist gauze, bite down and then inhale...this will keep the clot in the tooth. You must use moist gauze for each smoke for 3 days, or 8 days for a wisdom tooth. How do I know? I am a smoker and have had two teeth pulled this month alone on separate occasions. If you keep the hole covered with the moist gauze, your clot will stay where it needs to be :)
Safest way to smoke after wisdom teeth?
I smoke. It's best to not to take big puffs. If you can drag smaller than you normally do you'll be ok. Try to smoke by holding your lips very lightly around the cigarette so some air mixes with it. If you smoke as normal you might get a dry socket & that is very painful. See if you can smoke less for the first 24 hours.
