Wisdom Teeth question

bmac · 05-30-2009, 09:54 AM

Whatsup everyone!?

I just got all four wisdom teeth taken out yesterday. I was wondering how long I should wait before blazing again. I don't want to get dry sockets because I hear they are very painful.

How long did you guys wait to burn after getting this done?

Cheers!

I smoked a ciggerate a couple days after I got 4 taken out, It was about a week after, and I got dry socket bad. I thought I was healed enough but It got bad. I had to go in 3 more times so they could stuff the holes. I didn't smoke weed, I'm not sure if it'd have the same affect though, but my advice is just wait until you have no pain, and after your meds are gone.

im curious, if i run out of painkillers and call the dentist would he give me more?

If your calling him to make an appointment, yes.
But just calling him and trying to get pills, well that just won't work.

Thanks guys. I guess I will wait. I am not in much pain, I woke up this morning with a little swelling in my jaw where they had to dig for one (the other three were out already). I don't have much pain at all and haven't even been using my pain meds.

I will probably wait a few more days to see how I am feeling.

Cheers.

i would just use a bong if possible. dont pack the bowl too tight, that way you wont get too much suction going.

or a gravity bong/ waterfall/ lung, something you dont really have to milk

eugh im in a lot of pain, it was one bombed absyss wisdom tooth, 4 stitches to cover the hole. before the surgery my doctor gave me 30 dialuid to last me until it gets pulled, and now after the extraction the dentist gave me 20 oxycodone (percs) and that was thursday afternoon and and now its saturday morning and ive got 10 left.

it hurts like a bitch and its all swollen and shit.i think ill have to go to town to a walkin clinic (where i got the dillies) to see if i can get something else or more to last me, the doctor on the island only gives me tylenol 3s which suck

I am actually surprised that I am in no pain.

Sucks cause I am going fishing and I love smokin' a doob while fishing. Beer it is!

I smoked as soon as I got home lol they gave me anti infectants so they never got infected

its for real though. I'm lucky I guess I have all 4 of mine and never had a problem with them. My boyfriend got his pulled we went to go get his pain medication and me , him and a friend of ours are waiting there for our number to come up and he's fucked up off the medicine they gave him at the dentist office anyway and I mean real fucked up. This little girl is staring at him. HE smiles at her and she gets scared as hell. I'm wondering why. I look down at him and his chin and mouth got blood everywhere. He couldn't feel it flowing out his mouth anyways. it was fucked up but funny.

You must not smoke for at least 2 weeks or more, to let your body heal properly and take vitamin C and E on a daily basis! Your immune system needs to heal the area, or you can get an infection.

just because others didn't get infected it doesn't mean you are immune to it! Better safe then sorry!

ciggy and pot smoke have nothing to do with getting a dry socket it's the sucking that can dislodge the blood clot and lead to dry socket. just puff gently and you will be o.k. and remember to gargle with salt water a few times a day and that will heal it up quicker than anything.

^ yes, works great

fuuuck, I'm so glad I don't have to get any of mine removed.

my brother and I had a really good orthodontist though, he was our neighbor too. I had braces from 5th-6th grade, but it was totally worth it. I only had them for 13 months and I will never have a problem again.
