Emergency: Wisdom Tooth Extraction Help

[cherrypopwizkid]

I'm having my Wisdom Teeth taken out at 9:45 tommorow so please respond quick!!

I didn't worry to much about the smoking thing because i thought 'No worries, I just vape I don't smoke.' Now I'm giving myself a giant facepalm because i just realized, and I should have known better I'm smarter than that, its the sucking action of smoking that causes the dry socket.

I can't vape eithier. I would try to just quit, but I'm staying with my parents during recovery and I DO NOT want to bite there heads off.

I have some commit lozenges but I'm reading all sorts of horrible things that they can do to your teeth so that seems like an aweful idea too.

What about putting a single drop of liquid under the tounge, would I absorb nicotine that way? Or am I basically going to have to just suck it up?

Snort the vapor. I used a round tip I dont usewhen I had a cold and some super heavy menthol and snorted it. Worked to break up the gunk. So you should have no trouble.
Kinda gross I know.

[cherrypopwizkid]

lol! Oh god I can only imagine what my parents would do if they saw me snorting the vapor. I don't even think I'd know how to.

[Dillan]

Snus maybe? Not sure if that's a good option or not here.

When I had two of my wisdom teeth yanked, I used the patch for a day or two, but I was back on the analogues pretty quickly even though I should have given it a longer rest (or a permenant one, lol, but you know what I mean).

Gross as it might sound, I second jaded on snorting the vapor lol. I had my wisdom teeth taken out in Japan with local anesthetic, 2 on right side first, then back for 2 on the left side. Can't believe it now, but I smoked analogs the whole time. No issues but ugh. Sorry, OT there.

The drop of nic might work if it's not too high content, but sounds not so tasty...and not sure how good secretions from snus would be for the wound. Nasavape, I say.

You could run by a tobacco shop and pick up some nasal snuff. Only problem is that you might like it too much.

So your concern is about vaping during recovery? (Sorry, I'm not familiar with wisdom tooth extractions...yet, at least. Still young and waiting for the next x-ray to tell.)

You could also try either the nicotine patch (for a steady dose) and/or nasal snuff (for a quick rush; check out Smokeless Tobacco for recommendations) to get nicotine. Both will avoid disturbing your mouth while it heals.

I hope the extraction goes fine and recovery is quick!

Are you having all 4 pulled at one time? Only 1 or 2? I just had a tooth pulled recently and, or course, dentist said not to smoke. I didn't much, but I did put a wad of gauze over the hole and bit down on it and vaped a little. That will protect the socket some. But if you have more than one pulled, I think I would try something else (snus, patch, etc.)

[lawnman3]

yes thats the way i did the cover it up mod when i had all my top teeth pulled that does work trust me lawnman3 nasty but it works

[WitchWay]

After having serveral teeth removed, I have found a trick that works for me. I take a piece of gauze and fold it up then place it over the extraction socket, holding it in place just suck lightly when you vape. When you are not vaping take the gauze out. Dry socket happens when the blood clot is dislodged from the socket, which can happen when sucking on a cig or vaping. The gauze keeps the clot from being dislodged. It's only the first 24 to 36 hours that are critical. If you are very careful you should be ok, you just don't want to suck hard on anything, including straws. If you do dry socket, get right back in to the dentist and they will pack it and all will be well.

Good luck!!!
