Hi, Its been exactly one week today since I had my wisdom teeth surgery. I went in today for my check up and they said everything is healing fine and gave me the cleaning syringe . One lady said it would take a full month for the holes to completely close up. 1. Is it bad to smoke weed as of now, or eat an edible? 2. Am I able to drink beer or any type of liqueur? And 3. Does this mean i can t do either of those for a whole month?
HelloWelcome to ChatDoctorI would like to tell you that extraction of wisdom teeth is complicated procedure & takes normally little more time in healing compared to other teeth. It normally takes approx 1 month for healing.It's advisable to wait for around 1 month before starting this habit. Although I would advise you to cease this habit as it has lots of adverse effects. Smoking delays the healing process, its better to postpone at least for 1 month.Meanwhile, do Betadine gargles thrice a day. Also do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. Continue your medications till your doctor advice. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
