Does Smoking Cannabis Interfere With A Dental Procedure?

Effect of anaesthesia will be low while extraction
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in.
If you smoke or drink then effect of anaesthesia is reduced & you might experience little more pain while extraction.
Since you have ceased smoking since a week so it might not be a major factor in your case. Your dentist will check for numbness before proceeding for extraction.So needn't worry.
Secondly be careful post extraction.
Do not smoke for 10-15 days till socket heals because smoking inhibits healing & cause poor clotting leading to dry socket which is very painful.
Rest all instructions will be given by your dentist.
Good luck for tommorrow.
Take proper diet before going for extraction.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you good health
Regards
Dr. Neha Sumra
