What Causes Slight Discomfort When Smoked Hookah After Wisdom Teeth Removal?
Hi, I just got my wisdom teeth pulled out 9 days ago today and yesterday I smoked hookah and had a slight discomfort in the left area. I don't think I dislodged the blood clot but I was just making sure so is the pain immediate if you dislodge it and get dry socket or does it take time to develop?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone wisdom tooth removal only 9 days ago now you smoked yes , it will have very bad effect on your socket healing , and I will advice you to quit this habit and visit Dentist for Local examination of socket
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health
Regards
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
