demonix Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I just got my second root canal today and was wondering if hookah and Black & Milds would be okay to smoke afterwards or whether I should wait to smoke for a certain period of time.

Codename067 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 A friend of mine healed up rather quickly, not sure how long exactly. A week, maybe two, and he started smoking, with no problems. I would ask the Dentist just to be sure dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nars2k Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Yeah I dont think its too safe to smoke so soon, wait at least a week or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonix Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 [quote] [font="Times New Roman"][size=4][size="4"]Do not smoke during the first 24 hours and minimize the number of times you smoke during the remaining healing process because smoking delays the healing process. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.[/quote][/size][/size][/font] [size=4]Meh, oh well.

liquidglass Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 just get everything ready, clean your hookahs throughly and prepare them for the best smoke ever. Take a week off to allow everything to heal. Otherwise it may not and if that happens you're looking at bleeding and possible infection. So if you want to continue smoking just relax and clean all your hookah stuff so when the time comes you can light up the best bowl of your life. Plus the week off will help "reset" your taste buds and make it even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 If u can bite down on your teeth with full pressure and not feel pain, then it's okay to smoke. Rule of thumb, wait 3 days at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Root canal shouldn't be a big deal, it should be all sealed up and whatnot if it was a traditional deal. But I would strongly urge you to ask your dentist. But smoking shouldn't aggravate it once it has set up (a day or so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fezmeister Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 wait 2-3 days and make sure you KEEP the gauze over the wound. keep your mouth hydrated while you smoke and dont suck very hard. i had my wisdom teeth(all 4) out this summer and i smoked like a chimney two days later, just take precautions and you'll be fine.

hookah hippie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i would wait a few days not worth an infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I'd wait a few days, dude. Strongly suggest a week, like Liquid said. Clean your stuff and have the best smoke ever after waiting a week. It'll be so worth it. If you absolutely have to smoke to celebrate finals tomorrow, then just do a short session and then wait atleast a few days before going back to smoking regularly.

Arcane Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 For some reason, i was thinking about getting your wisdom teeth pulled out and was suggesting waiting a couple weeks... for a root canal, the dentist usually says no food, drinks for an hour....never mentions anything about smoking and i usually light up a cig after my appt....

demonix Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Haven't smoked in a week already, I'll just stick it out til I get my crown done. Setting up my appt for it today or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 not really sure if the pressure would effect a root canal like a wisdom tooth extraction, but i tend to err on the side of caution. I would wait until eating a carrot doesn't hurt your tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeNouA Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I smoked the day I got my root canal. It didn't really do anything to the tooth itself, it just felt weird smoking with a half numb face haha. It's up to you since people react differently to things. But I smoked and nothing happened.

Vladimir Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 A lot of people here obviously have excellent teeth as they appear to be very confused. There is no gauze or open wound with a root canal... unless you one done surgically... that was no fun . As you may suspect, stitches in the roof of the mouth suck!
