I got my wisdom tooth removed 6 hours ago because of cavity formation and also got stitches. Is it okay if I smoke?

No one will advise you for SMOKE. It's you to choose.

Dear Syed Junaid. Thanks for the question. For a smoker, it can be very difficult to temporarily stop tobacco use, even after major surgery in the mouth. Even if one feels the urge for a cigarette, it is important to wait at least 72 hours before smoking after any dental extraction, including the extraction of wisdom teeth. Take care
