Seriously I was just dying for a cigarette lol. I mean I smoke weed too but it's easier going without that than a cig for me so I'm glad I found this video

[@TheLangeLange]

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was so scared of getting a dry socket that I didn't smoke for a week. I actually ended up quitting smoking after I went a week without a cig :)

[@meg3839]

Haha that's awesome. Whatever works! I've sort of preparing to quit again and working on the psychological bit for the last two weeks. I tried 2 years ago, but we wound up getting a deal on a new house and moving suddenly...and all just as I was very close to being ready to quit (thank you, Alan Carr books). I got spooked lol. However, I now have to get a failed root canal extracted shortly. Always, with the timing! 😒 I'm half-worried, half-hoping the same happens to me, all while panicking about having to go without cigs for this extraction even though I've had wisdoms pulled and was fine lol. So, yes, half-panicking and half-hoping to quit....uh, as torture-free as possible haha.

[@djstatyk1540]

this guy is an absolute legend, this video was recommended to me by a Dentist. when I was 18, I got both my lower wisdom pulled and I smoked heavy, (marijuana, no cigs) and I completely stopped for 72 hours after surgery, because it was obviously the right thing to do, it worked out, never had dry socket, actually I was smoking right after the 72 hour mark, without gauze. Today, I am 25 years young and just pulled the other set yesterday, I am craving a smoke and this doesn't seem like a bad idea to try😂 therefore, Ill be trying the gauze technique. thx man! hope this video gets to one million very soon😎

Good looks mr Dave Taylor I just got a tooth pulled and yes I'm a smoker. Thanks for the tips.

[@jackr7314]

When I was still a smoker and had my wisdom teeth extracted. I used a shop vac, a bong and would draw the smoke into the bong with the shop vac and then breathe gentle inhaling the smoke from the bong bottle. Since it is the negative pressure and suction that causes the dry socket to begin with. Drinking milkshakes through straws etc can cause the same condition. I know this is kind of a crazy solution but it worked great haha

[@andrewrocha9833]

Love how supportive and informative this is lmao.

[@124kelsie]

I put the gauze or paper towel in dry because your saliva gets the gauze wet by the time your done your smoke. I hate it but it's what I got to do to smoke then so be it.

My dentist actually gave me this near identical advice and a shit load of extra gauze. He's either incredibly realistic or careless. My guess is he's a realist. He repeatedly told me not to smoke, but said if you just won't listen to that advice do this "......." .

[@ShaneBales]

Ultimately I went 24 hours completely smoke free. 2 cigarettes with very little puffing by 36 hours and now at 72 hours I'm smoking with gauze still, but very liberally for my habit. I think I'm probably in good shape, but I'm petrified of dry socket.

[@DirkDaJerk]

Got all 4 wisdom teeth removed yesterday. Had to be performed by an oral surgeon and bone had to be ground out to remove all of them. Have been a smoker for almost 20 years. I have heard horror stories about dry socket, so that was the last thing I wanted. I just smoked my first cigarette a couple hours ago, 24 hours after my procedure. I used the gauze method, however, I soaked 2 black tea bags in some lukewarm water, squeezed out the excess tea and used those in place of gauze. Not only do the teabags offer a damp, more comfortable alternative to dry gauze, black tea is high in tannic acid, which constructs blood vessels and helps with the clot in the socket. I took very slow and light pulls on the cigarette. Will continue this method for the next 2-3 days. I may purchase some gauze and soak it in some steeped black tea as well. The tea bags also provided some pain relief, however that could've been the meds, but I don't think so. If you've had your wisdom teeth out, I wish you the best of luck.

[@RonaldoMexicano]

I smoked a cigarette as soon as I stepped outta the dentist office. I've had 5 different teeth removed and was fortunate enough to smoke and never get dry socket. I keep the original gauze in for about 6 hours and I'll have maybe one cig and one blunt. I'll then change the gauze before I start smoking again. After about 3 days you can smoke as often as you like without having the gauze in your mouth and not worry about dry socket

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

Thank you for the video! I'm sitting here with gauze in my mouth thinking there is no way I will make it three days without one like I was told.

Never have had dry socket or any issues. After you smoke cig, take out gauze. Anytime you smoke, cover area with new, clean, damp gauze. I've never waited more than an hour after extraction before smoking a cig and/or some bud. Good luck

Soft hit should be fine. Maybe stick a gauze (delicately) in after to see if u are bleeding. I didn't get pain killers so I was aware of the discomfort.

[@beebysill]

This is such an old video but found this now. Got my wisdom teeth taken out over 72 hours ago and just started smoking again, very carefully and gently. Used nicotine patches at first but they just don’t do the job. Been reading medical journals too and you can see the increase in likelihood of a dry socket with the amount of cigarettes smoked and how early you start smoking post surgery. But in one study something stood out to me, 2 smokers started smoking over a pack a day on day 3 and didn’t get any dry sockets. They were outliers and just got lucky I guess but that made me laugh. Its good to not smoke as much as possible until you’re fully healed, but sometimes it’s just up to god 😂

440,000 smokers who want a ciggie but are too paranoid to have a ciggie 😅

Everything he is saying in this video is true! I've had teeth pulled in the past, and made a mistake of smoking too soon after the extraction. 2 weeks of painful hell! Dry socket is NO JOKE! I just had several teeth pulled 3 days ago and this time I made sure to wait a little longer. If I smoke, I place a new piece of damp gauze over the extraction site everytime. Don't bite down too hard as you'll pull some of the clot out with the gauze! Small easy drags is key!

[@Leah-zw1iv]

I just got my wisdom teeth taken out today. Its so hard to not smoke. thanks for your video!

[@YolandaMReyes]

Now I know what to do! Thanks. Dry Socket lady here!

[@shepopop]

LaReyna Yolie Reyes Snap here , try neem oil compress

[@YolandaMReyes]

Actually it was food build up! lol

[@beetheb]

The suction is what dislodges the clot, so when you smoke take air in on either side of your mouth with each drag, reduces suction to almost zero, you're basically just taking in a large breath with some smoke in it

[@cyruskearney]

holy shit it literally is this simple why have i not seen this sooner

[@BitchyBubblez]

This really helped, thank you. Had my top right, second molar pulled yesterday and my dentist loves making me panic about making things worse. Even my mom told me that I won't get dry socket, and she's had 13 teeth pulled at once, and smoked 10 hours later: was completely fine. Maybe it's just a bad luck thing, but I'm terrified of getting it. Thanks again!

Honestly, your mom sounds like an asshole. "Just ignore your stupid doctors, honey. I did exactly what they said I shouldn't and I'm still here!" Yeah, definitely some top-tier parenting alright.

I've been doing exactly as you said before I even watched this. Great minds think alike. I'm in painbthough because the dentist took 2 hours to wrench the tooth out and really hurt my jaw bone whilst attempting to pry the stubborn tooth.

[@devondadude3588]

Haley Norman I went thru same thing I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy!

[@ToTo-mn7zx]

Dide i just had my wisdom and the other next to it taken out the dentist was a menace he took about 20 seconds for each tooth he put his knee on the chair to get leavage it was a horrible pressure on my jaw bone but they are out now and im going through the recovery process

[@GanjaFarmer661]

I got two pulled today. One had been broken below the gum line for 10+ years with the skin having grown over it. They were both out in 5 minutes tops. I barely had enough time to think about having a panic attack lol. Award goes to you for hanging on for that two hours, man. Sheesh.

[@Thorn9941]

Had a wisdom tooth removed 4 days ago, been worried bout getting a dry socket although I hadn't smoked for a day and a half (was already sleep deprived before they put me under with L.A. was fun as hell) but I been searching for shit about smokin, this is exactly what I've been doin so good to know I'm doin it right and have been lmao

Thanks for the info I was pondering whether to smoke or not for the past 2 hours been using patches but it's not the same had mine out Tuesday at 1130 am it is now Saturday morning 6 am so I would say that is a victory I made it this long

[@Sid2Sick]

I've had six dry sockets and I unfortunately have one at this very moment. I just had an eye tooth pulled and i hadn't smoked in 39 hours. because the last time i smoked on a eye tooth i had a dry socket that lasted over a month. I had 2 suture packing blow outs, i almost had to have a bone graft from the dry socket was so bad. it took 6 months for that hole to close up enough. so take my experienced advice and DON'T SMOKE for 48 HOURS. it just ain't worth the pain.

[@Thedeepesttruth]

I have had most of my teeth pulled. The only way I have had this not happen is to keep the gauze in when you smoke. I’ve smoked directly after. Just don’t use mouth suction. Use your lungs/diaphragm to pull the smoke in. Then anytime you smoke for the first 24-48 hours have a fresh gauze in there. Once done smoking take gauze out and gently use salt water. Don’t swish just let us settle and move your head in slow circles and tilts. Do not touch the area with your tongue. Do not vigorously swish for at least 2 or 3 days. You basically want the clot to form a white or cream colored plug. It’s granulation tissue. So if you really want to be safe and still smoke, cover the hole with gauze for 3 days. And yes a new gauze every cig, food, and drink.

[@techno6631]

Thank you for the advice.
