Is okay to smoke around 1 4 cigaretts 10 hours after you have your wisdom teeth removed?

No, it is not okay to smoke around 1-4 cigarettes 10 hours after having your wisdom teeth removed.

Smoking can delay healing and increase the risk of complications after wisdom tooth removal, including:

- Dry socket: A condition that occurs when the blood clot that forms in the tooth socket after extraction is dislodged, leading to pain, inflammation, and delayed healing.

- Infection: Smoking can increase the risk of infection in the surgical site, which can lead to pain, swelling, fever, and difficulty swallowing.

- Poor wound healing: Smoking can impair blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the surgical site, which can delay healing and increase the risk of complications.

- Increased pain and discomfort: Smoking can worsen pain and discomfort after wisdom tooth extraction.

In addition, smoking can also:

- Irritate the surgical site and cause pain.

- Delay the healing of the gums.

- Cause dry mouth, which can make it more difficult to eat and drink.

- Increase the risk of infection.

- Lead to complications such as dry socket.

For the best possible outcome, it's important to avoid smoking for at least 24-48 hours after wisdom tooth removal and up to a month or longer if possible to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications.
