Could Smoking have caused this infection that i have in my incision site?
Answers:
You could probably take some over the counter medication, such as Advil or Tylenol. Eat soft foods and if you continue to have pain call the office to go back in. And YES, smoking may have caused this. If you smoked the sucking action may have dislodged the blood clot that is supposed to be in the area of healing. If you lost your clot it is called dry socket and is very painful and needs careful follow-up including multiple dental visits. Good luck!
