Wisdom teeth pain and smoking?

I just started experiencing pain in the back of my mouth from my wisdom teeth. Thankfully I%26#039;m getting them out in a few weeks. The pain isn%26#039;t unbareable it%26#039;s just a constant dull pain on the side of my face. I was wondering if smoking could aggrivate my mouth and make the pain worse. I know smoking is bad, that%26#039;s not my question. My question is can smoking irritate my wisdom teeth pain that isn%26#039;t from surgery, just from them growing in or whatever?

Wisdom teeth pain and smoking?
To the best of my knowledge, no. However, when you get them pulled, you will need to go for several days without smoking or you will get dry-socket and experience some of the worst pain of your life. This can happen from even one cig. Some dentists will tell you 24-48 hours; you should abstain for longer. Sorry if you already knew about this, but I felt the need to give out a warning.





Of course, if you feel as though smoking (or anything else) is causing you pain issues, you should cut back for little while on principle.





p.s. You may want to try for sooner than a few weeks... it may only be a dull pain now, but it tends to get worse.





Good luck

Reply:Wisdom teeth that have erupted and are visible are more suseptible to cavities, and since they are way back there, they are harder to brush too. By smoking, you may be aggravating the nerves when you take deep breathes in and out. Try to limit your smoking until you can be seen professionally by a dentist.
