Wisdoms pulled today and need a cig now.?!


Question:

Wisdoms pulled today and need a cig now.?

ALright guys and girlies, this is driving me insane. I went to get my wisdom teeth removed(all 4) today at 9:45AM (MAY 24,2007). Its 6:15pm now and need a smoke. I am not bleeding anymore and swelling went down alot. He said I would feel good today but next two days be tough. Gauze left strings in my mouth around tooths and hurt like hell0 to pull them out but I did. If i put wet gauze back there will it be ok. I plan light inhale little little puffs like smaller when its cold out and you see your breath. I am deathly scared of dry socket. I had a bag of peas on my cheeks for about 5 hours now straight.....craving. O are there any food tips and PS I DONT HAVE STITCHES just an open wound and prescribed Vicodin

any tips? I prefer a dental assistant or dentist

By the way this sunday I have plans to go to the mountains and visit someone who owns a camper. Is it safe to go swimming and mini golf? I am just so sick of baby foods and soup and pudding right now and ready to bring on a burger or somthing. But how long should I wait for a cig? When will the clot form and what does the clot do other than keeping gums bleeding. I think he cut too far and practically cut most of the gums from my bottom teeth. Is that normal to cut so much of the gums like its not just my wisdom area its like half way toward the front of my mouth he seperated the gums..

In my instructions it says no smoking after 24 hours so just to be safe should I wait till Saturday to have a cig then? I appreciate serious answers and so far thanks highly to the dentists atleast they noticed I said dentist pros only not citizens who know only what the doc tells them.

Havent smoked yet and planning to maybe tommorow. How does dry socket form and when will it form. I got this prescribed mouth wash and burned bad in the holes in the back why is that?

Answers:

Hello,

Eat softer foods...whatever you can tolerate...tomorrow you may have a little trouble opening...so hamburgers may be out of the question..

Don't use any sort of mouthrinse for the next 24 hours, this can dislodge the clot and cause a dry socket. Stay away from straws and don't forcefully spit when you brush your teeth. Additionally, stay away from those teeth in the back when you brush.

If you don't have stitches, you may be even more likely to get a dry socket. I have noticed this in people after I pull their teeth...so stay away from cigarettes...I can't emphasize that enough..

If you gotta puff...go chew some gum or something...but really stay away from smoking for the next couple of days..
