Hi, I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out 9 days ago today and yesterday I smoked hookah and had a slight discomfort in the left area. I dont think I dislodged the blood clot but I was just making sure so is the pain immediate if you dislodge it and get dry socket or does it take time to develop?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone wisdom tooth removal only 9 days ago now you smoked yes, it will have very bad effect on your socket healing, and I will advise you to quit this habit and visit Dentist for Local examination of socket Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day Hope it will help you.  Wishing you good healthRegards
