If you mean where he stitched it closed, then yes it is bad. They don't want you to smoke mainly because of getting 'dry socket' (where there is an inflammation in the bone).
If it opens because it just formed a hole, that will go away.
Hope this helped!
Should you get your wisdom teeth taken out awake or asleep?
Before making the decision about whether or not you should be sedated for the extraction of your third molars (wisdom teeth) you need to answer a few other questions.
First, have you seen an oral surgeon yet? If you have, he or she can tell you whether or not your third molars are impacted. Impaction of third molars is very common, but it does make it more difficult to extract them. The sounds associated with removal of impacted third molars are audible to the doctor and his or her assistants, but they will be much louder to you. If this is something you cannot handle then you should consider sedation.
Second, how do you feel about going to the dentist? If you have problems with dental phobia, sedation is an attractive option. If not sedated you will hear everything (see above), and see everything going on outside of your mouth. This can be traumatic. Then again if you have always felt comfortable in the dental chair you may not need sedation. The most important thing to remember is that extraction of third molars is the most common procedure performed by oral surgeons and it is very unlikely that anything will go wrong.
Third, do you have the money to spend on sedation? To be put "under" conscious sedation can be costly and is rarely covered by insurance. Conscious sedation is the nicest option as you will not be awake or remember the procedure. Do not be fooled however. There are other sedation options. Nitrous oxide works for most people but can cause nausea. Your doctor can prescribe you a sedative in pill form (Valium, Adavan, etc). These can interefere with medications that you may already be taken and you do not want be concerned with that on the day of you extractions.
You should have a doctor that you feel comfortable with reviewing your options. When it comes down to it the most important thing is that you are comfortable with your doctor and are following his or her instructions prior to and after your surgery.
Personal Experience:
It's all based on personal preference. When I had my wisdom teeth extracted, two of them were badly decayed and the pain was unbearable. So, I called around until I could find a dentist that did extractions and had him squeeze me in for an impromptu extraction. I refused to be put under, and he reluctantly agreed after ten-minutes of arguing with me. He injected my gums with Procain and waited until I was drooling out of the side of my mouth before he administered nitrous-oxide (laughing-gas) and before I knew it, my gums were already stitched-up and my extracted-teeth were laying on a bloody-napkin on the tray. Aside from the anesthetic that was injected into my gums, there wasn't any discomfort.
I WOULD DEFINETLY CONTACT A DOCTOR YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE ABLE TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH THE NEXT DAY. i JUST GOT MINE OUT TODAY!
Who is the best Cosmetic dentist in Beirut Lebanon?
I sincerely recommend the cosmetic dentistry clinic at Smile Center Clinic. I came all the way from Amman-Jordan to have my teeth fixed at their clinic. They created a masterpiece out of my smile.
They gave me nice beautiful smile or as they call it (The Hollywood Smile)
You could get things called blocks that separate your upper and lower teeth (on the second to last teeth on the bottom) and when you grind your teeth it wouldn't affect your teeth.
Should you brush your teeth before or after eating?
I think after because if you eat after brushing your teeth the food will taste bad. Also your teeth will just get dirty again.

Are there special dentists for kids with CP?
Depends, I have a brother with CP and he just goes to our dentist, but he has to be treated differently. Although I'm sure that there are dentists who specialize with children with special needs.
the above is the same as my sister, but she usually has to go to the hospital, either for a more thorough check, x-ray or some sort of dental operation that she would need general anesthetic for.
It's probably a mucocele - a harmless cyst that is very common in young adults and children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucocele i actually have a small one on the inside of my lower lip right now...

Where is nogales and sonora Mexico?
I guess you mean where is Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Nogales is a city and its surrounding municipality on the northern border of the Mexican State of Sonora. The municipality covers an area of 1,675 square kilometers (647 sq mi), and borders to the north the city of Nogales, Arizona, United States, across the US-Mexico border. Its coordinates are: 31°19'N 110°57'W
It is about 1 hour south of the Tucson AZ Airport.
I recently had a trip to dentist for tooth extraction, and the oral surgeon accidentally broke the crown of my tooth while trying to pull it. Not only did the surgeon have to go into the gum, but he also had to dig around my jaw bone with a scraper and a drill for what seemed like the better part of an hour to get the remaining fragments of the roots out. It was highly uncomfortable, but tolerable. So to answer your question, yes. There is a chance the dentist might have to go into the gum, and possibly even the bone, to get a tooth out.
Go to the dentist soon anyway. Dentist may be able to save the tooth with a cap.
