Smoking after tooth extraction?

2017-03-27 11:38:39
I have had a horizantally impacting lower right wisdom tooth removed 24 hours back. I want to know if it is ok to smoke now? After looking at Google, I should be expecting a clot on my extraction site. But the doctor had given stitches there so no clot nor sweliing is present as of now. Please advise.

No, avoid it for at least 1 weak. Smoking can delay healing of extracted socket and it may also lead to DRY SOCKET , a severely painful condition.
