Can You Vape After a Wisdom Tooth Extraction?

by Brio 22 Aug 2023

Going too long without vaping is tough, which is why we understand how hard it gets after you get your tooth extracted. Giving your body as much time to recover as possible after a tooth extraction before resuming your regular activities and diet is crucial.

If you were in good health before surgery, recovering enough might not take long to return to your routine. Even though returning to your regular diet may take longer, you must rest for a few days after surgery.

Smoking or using smokeless tobacco is recommended to cease a few days before surgery and for at least 3-5 days following it if you're a patient. The more time you can go without using tobacco products like cigarettes, the better.

When Can I Vape After a Tooth Extraction?

After a dental extraction, a person should wait at least 72 hours before smoking or vaping again. The doctors request that at least these days pass to provide the wound enough time to heal and the stitches to close up. This does not, however, imply that within 72 hours, everything will be good and run without a hitch. Another unforeseen circumstance is coughing after you vape. The coughing can slowly open up the stitches, causing you to get a dry socket.

What Happens if I Vape After Having My Teeth Pulled?

The biggest issue that comes from vaping after you have your teeth pulled is the sucking motion. Inhaling or sucking (even through a straw) causes the clot in your gums to open up, which causes a dry socket. Also, since vaping produces heat, it also increases gum inflammation which slows the healing process. Smoke or vapor has enough heat to give you problems.

They typically advise eating ice cream after tooth extraction since the cold foods will fasten your recovery. Similarly, you should avoid hot foods like soup, vigorous exercise, or sports because these activities raise body temperature.

Your gums are an open wound that can become infected by the vapor and chemicals in tobacco products, leading to various issues. E-cigarettes contain a different class of chemicals that also help spread infection. Thus, vapers do not exempt from this danger.

We must remember that rather than experiencing alleviation from pain following a molar extraction, anyone who vapes cannabis may feel worse. Smoking or vaping can cause dry sockets, which makes healing more painful, prolongs the healing process, and increases the chance of infection.

How to Vape Without Getting a Dry Socket?

The convenience and fashionable designs of vaping have contributed to its rising popularity in recent years. But as vaping becomes more popular, there is a higher chance that you will experience dry sockets, a painful and severe condition. It is critical to understand what a dry socket is and how to prevent it to ensure you are correctly vaping and safeguarding yourself from this potential difficulty.

Inhale with VERY Little Force

Using very little force when breathing in may assist in maintaining the blood clot and prevent dry sockets. A painful condition known as a dry socket can develop following a tooth extraction. The bone and nerves are exposed when the blood clot often forms in the socket moves or dissolves. You must wait at least 24 hours following the extraction before smoking, using a straw for drinking, or rinsing your mouth forcefully to prevent dry sockets. Since vaping can cause hiccups sometimes, it's also best to watch out for this happening too.

Visit your oral surgeon or dentist as soon as possible if you experience excruciating pain, bad breath, or an unpleasant taste in your mouth following a tooth extraction. They might administer antibiotics, painkillers, or medicated dressings to you as treatment.

Cover the Extraction Region with Gauze

After tooth extraction, a painful condition known as a "dry socket" can develop if the blood clot that usually fills the socket moves or dissolves. You must avoid dry sockets by placing gauze over the extraction site to relieve pressure on the area and promote blood clot formation.

However, gauze is usually used to absorb any fluid from the wound following the procedure, not to avoid a dry socket. You should also abstain from using a straw when drinking, excessively cleaning your mouth, and consuming firm or sticky meals. You should immediately schedule an appointment with your dentist for treatment if you experience any dry socket symptoms, including excruciating pain, foul breath, or exposed bone.

The American Dental Association advises covering the extraction site with gauze for 30 to 45 minutes following surgery. This promotes blood clot formation and can lessen the risk of dry sockets. You might request a specific oxidized cellulose dental dressing to prevent dry sockets if you smoke.

Avoid Vaping for the First Few Days

A painful condition known as dry socket can develop. When the blood clot guards the bone and nerves break down or dislodges following a tooth extraction. Vaping can result in a dry socket because the suction can move the blood clot. After a tooth extraction, refraining from vaping for the first few days can help prevent dry sockets and promote routine wound healing.

How Much Pain Will I Be in with a Dry Socket?

It can be very unpleasant to have a dry socket. You can feel pain radiating to your head and neck and severe agony at the extraction site.

How Long to Wait to Vape After Pulling Your Wisdom Teeth?

The dangers of vaping following tooth extraction are much the same as those of smoking regular cigarettes. This is because vape pens and e-cigarettes may also include nicotine, which lowers the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, can induce inflammation, injure oral tissues, and complicate healing.

Another factor is that smoking and vaping can lead to issues during oral surgery. Doctors advise waiting for at least 72 hours. However, depending on how quickly your body heals, the ideal period is between one and two weeks, which only applies to those who cannot suppress their desire to smoke.

Alternatives to Vaping or Smoking

Although it's not easy to go without vaping or smoking, there are alternatives to make it easier. 

Nicotine Pouches

Although it's not recommended, you can use minimal amounts of nicotine pouches to help you get over the nicotine cravings. Try to keep it on the opposite side of your mouth that you got your teeth pulled. This will keep as much nicotine away from it as possible

Edibles/Gummies

If you've been looking for a way to use your hemp pen, it may be best to try an edible. Gummies are a great way to get what you want from a vape pen without inhaling anything. Simply chop up your edibles into small tiny pieces that you can swallow without chewing.
