Brief Answer:
I think it best not to use dip tobacco.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,
Even though you are in little pain, you are still healing, and some of the substances in tobacco can delay wound healing. Also it isn't the best for your immune system and mouth/throat health. So I would recommend not using chewing tobacco, especially while you are recovering from this surgery.
I hope this information helps.
