First, I am in no way a dentist. I have had several extractions in my life though & I am a smoker. They tell you to NOT smoke, but I have always done so, very cautiously of course, with no problems, so use your best judgment. If you can go w/out smoking for any amount of time, for any reason, the better of you are. I of course am still a smoker. I would always smoke from the farthest corner of my mouth, lightly and on the opposite side of the extraction. I hope this helps you.
AnswerIt is recommended that all smoking for be stopped in the first 48 hours (minimum) following tooth extraction or dental surgery. The reason for this is three fold;
1. The sucking action of smoking can disrupt the clot within the socket and can expose the underlaying bone. This can lead to a dry socket, which essentially is exposed bone in or around the socket. This can be very painful due to the exposed nerves on the bones surface. Treatment involves pallative action such as packing the dry socket while the soft tissue granulates in to cover the exposed bone. This can take several days to several weeks depending on how much bone is exposed.
2. The smoke and chemicals in the tobacco cause a "biofilm" that coats eveything inhibiting healing and reattachment of the gum tissue to the underlaying bone.
3. Nicotine is a vasocontrictor which will also inhibit healing in the immediate period after extraction or surgery.
After, 48 smoking should be limited to allow helaing to continue.
Or you can attempt to stop smoking, and it helps you if you have a starting reason.
Smoking lead to slow blood supply and higher risks of infections, which can lead to implant and especially soft and bone graft failures. So avoid it at least a week before and then at least a month after any kind of oral surgery. If you are spending a lot of money for dental implant then why would you want to obstruct in case of success. So better for you to leave it for long time which will help you for your fast health cure.
Trust me. I'm no dentist. But I know it is not a good idea. If you get your cavaties filled or get braces and the dentist says not to eat for a couple of hours, you shouldn't because it won't be in effect. So no do not smoke after dental surgery!
