What happens if you eat before your wisdom teeth are pulled?

Im not a doctor or anything, but I do know it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT not to eat before any major surgery when anesthesia is involved, which is commonly used with wisdom teeth extractions. I believe it is because something goes on with your stomache while you are under the anesthesia, and sometimes the food can come back and you choke on it, but since youre under you cant exactly choke so it blocks your windpipe..im not completely sure. But I do know your surgeon doesnt just say things so he will sound smart, it is for YOUR HEALTH. If you havnt followed the doctors orders completely, it is not wise to have your planned surgery, and you should let your surgeon know.

I am not a dentist, but have just had my teeth out and was advised by my dentist not to do it!! It may be hard, but enduring the pain will be harder.

How long after getting your wisdom teeth pulled can you start smoking weed?

You are not supposed to smoke anything for at least 72 hours (3 days) after having your wisdom teeth removed, as the sucking motion you make when inhaling can disturb the extraction site and cause it to start bleeding again. This is especially true when you have the bottom ones removed (as opposed to the top ones).

Personally, I cannot go 3 days without a cigarette, even with the strongest nicotine patch. So I limited myself to 2 or 3 cigarettes a day for the first few days after having my wisdom teeth removed, and I smoked them as carefully as possible.

You could also try smoking from a homemade gravity bong, as it will do all the sucking for you. All you have to do is open your mouth.

Are there ways for a hard core smoker to smoke without getting a dry socket after wisdom teeth surgery?

First of all, it will be tempting to smoke, but wait AT LEAST 48 hours. It's vital during these first two days to let the blood clot settle. Myself, I smoke marijuana and I smoked 36 hours, but I took very light hits and barely sucked in. I'm lucky to not get dry socket, but for those unfortunate, smoking is a main cause. If, after 48 hours, you must smoke, try and take very small drags and don't suck too hard. Many people ignore these warnings and end up getting dry socket OUCH!

Is it possible to not have wisdom teeth?
