I just got 4 teeth pulled, they were already erupted so they were out of the gum before I got them pulled.

My worry is that smoking will give me dry socket, should I wait a few days before I smoke again, or should I be okay to smoke now.

From what I've heard, dry socket is no joke, you'll be in pain for some time.

So basically, why risk it when you can avoid the possibility by not smoking until your healed...?

And are you talking bout ganja or tobacco? If your referring to marijuana how bout you make some canna butter and ingest it orally as opposed to smoking... it's an idea ;)

.peace.

dry socket is a bitch man. My sister got dry socket after smoking a few cigs over the course of a day after she got her wisdom teeth removed. She basically cried nonstop. If your orthopedic surgeon/dentist advised against it then don't risk it man, it's pretty tortuous from what i've heard.

not to mention your next high will be greatly improved. Especially if you got some pain pills ;)

Gravity bongs : they do the suction for you.

They're also easy to build out of crap, so you can cobble up a cheap one for your tobacco and not fuck up the one you were using for ganja, which is good.

yea try to avoid anothing that your going to have to pull hard on... like joepedo said, a gravity bong would be great for this...

I would get peanut butter and crackers, put weed inbetween and toast it if you want to get high. Do that for the next couple days then slowly go into smoking again.

Just wait dude. One of my freinds was in the same situation, and he was like "A hit every once in awhile is ok". He ended up with dry socket, and it hurt like a bitch.

dude, i smoked on my way home from gettin my wisdems out. either A, smoke from your nose, inhaling and exhaling to avoid contact with your mouth. or B cut a stray in half and shove one end in your bowl mouthpiece and put the other end as far back in your mouth, exhale thru nose, and for the love of god, keep your mouth PACKED with cotton. thats what i did and never had the dry sockets. and the percocet were the shit!

I was going to say "A little ganj never hurt anyone" but then I looked up dry socket. It sounds pretty fucking stupid. Just wait or eat your weed (after preparing it, of course).

Perhaps vaping it would work okay? I'm not sure whether it's the smoke itself that fucks you over or the chemicals and whatnot. Give it a try.
