Hello, I am wondering how long it would take after a wisdom tooth extraction to chew tobacco. It has been 3 days, and the extraction was literally 3 minutes, with very minimal soft tissue damage. THe dentist did a fantastic job, so I am just wondering.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. You are not supposed to use tobacco for minimum of 5-7days. Because it can contaminate the extraction socket and dislodge the clot and result in infection. Do not use tobacco for minimum of 5 days. Since it contains carcinogenic agents, it can release free radicals which induces cancer. Gradually you stop the habit. Do saline gargling and maintain the oral hygiene and take the Chat Doctor. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
