BattlePope Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hey guys,I just got my wisdom teeth out, exactly a week ago to this day. Anyways, I'm still healing and I know that the friends were planning a trip to the local hookah bar tomorrow. Does anyone know how hookah and wisom teeth removal mix? Going off to google it but was just curious if anyone knew off the top of there head. Bizarre, yes, but I had to ask. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 hmm dont know about that. but i got a wicked bad ulcer in my mouth, and it got a bit sore, but i think that was cause i was messing with it too much. But beyond that it didnt hurt at all, even when the smoke got harsh. And thats an open wound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 if it's been a week I doubt there is a problem. For a few days after you don't suck straws or anything because of dry socket, which is painful shit. I strongly suggest though if the hookah does not have a very easy draw that you avoid it just in case.How is everything healing up? Were there complications like impaction requiring a lot of work?

ghostofdavid Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I would wait. Dry sockets are no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web250 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Do NOT smoke hookah after getting your wisdom teeth done. Sucking motions can rip out the stitches and possibly give you dry sockets, which are painful abcesses inside of the areas where the teeth once were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have to agree after thinking a bit about it. If it's been a week and things are going right I had Ms. Scalli right back to work a week later after hers with no problems Hehe! Sorry bout that. Back to all seriousness it would not be worth it I can guarantee you if you did get one or MORE dry sockets. They are as bad as a very bad toothache.

THE NAMELESS Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 DONT DO IT! I remember i smoked about 3 days after i got my wisdom teeth pull and i got a dry socket, and believe me they hurt like a bi*ch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Abides Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I really have no idea what "dry sockets" are, but I do know I'm scared shitless of them. My advice: do whatever you have to do to avoid getting a dry socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BattlePope Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Abides - A dry socket, to my understanding, is when the clotting from the blood is ripped off of the wound and can get infected. I think that's what it is. Anyways, quite painful from what I've heard.Thanks for the replies guys. I guess I'll wait some more before I start smoking again. Thanks for the advice.Edit: Just checked the brouchure they handed out and apparently I'm suppossed to avoid smoking for [b]at least[/b] 3 days after. I might end up going and smoking just a little, not going to though if the draws hard. Thanks again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 After a week your healing will be well underway, but if you get any blood whatsover in your mouth while making a suction (straws are not a good idea!), you should take some antibiotics.

Evil_Spork Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 just give it a shot. my room mate was in the same situation as you and he was in pain about 4 days after, but about a week later he was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Definitely wait on that. I bought a hookah a couple of days after I had my wisdom teeth taken out as a get well present to myself. If you can create suction with your mouth without feeling any discomfort from your sockets, then go for it. It took me a week and a half for my mouth to heal before I could get back to smokin'.
