Will Dry Sockets Form if I Start Smoking Again 48 Hours After Wisdom Teeth Extraction?
DRS1994Mar 23, 2013
I am a 19 year old male, 6 foot tall 160 lbs and before my tooth extraction I would smoke 10-15 a day so I can say I've really been trying not to for the last 48 hours. I haven't because I don't want the dry sockets. Have the chances of forming a dry socket decreased significantly enough to smoke after 48 hours of wisdom teeth extraction is my main question.
