I just went through what you are dealing with , what a nightmare . Nothing worse than a relentless toothache so i just went in and told the Doc do what you got to do .

He strapped me down and put a large plastic drop cloth on the floor & under the chair which was not very comforting to me .

Anyway i was fine for the first few days and then the pain started , Anbesol was ineffective but Clove oil, (most horrific tasting stuff on planet earth) saved the day .

All you got to remember is vape very lightly , no super powerful drags or anything like that . As others said keep cotton gauze over the effected area and survival is possible , unlikely but possible.

Hope this helps

North Korean dentists do that all the time. Nobody dares open their mouths, so teeth get extracted through the rectum....

Pretty much the same experiences as above. Day of, I kept the wet gauze where they took the teeth out/ root canals. Next day I just gently vaped out of side of mouth opposite of where the tooth was.

I rinsed with listerine / peroxide rinsed a few times a day, salt water rinses, etc.

Just use your common sense. It would depend on location of extraction, I would think that the front teeth would make it harder to inhale and not cause a vacum that might cause bleeding and or dry socket.

If all else fails, definitely the drop of liquid under the tounge is my go to. Just remember the higher the nic, more chance of stomach pain or queasiness.

Ive been to the denist in the last few months more than my whole life, which probably is the reason for the extractions :)

I am one of those wierdos that doesnt mind dental work, honestly I fall asleep, I dont feel the needles and the drilling doesnt bother me, white nose and all.

I had impacted wisdom teeth a few years back and that hurt post op the most, but not for long, loved the "meds" and healed fast.

Wish you luck and quick healing so you can continue to vape your little heart out.

    Well the last couple of years, I have been slowly getting all my teeth pulled. I have horrible genetics when it comes to teeth. I grew up getting multiple cavities.

    Now before anyone says, well your mom should've cut out the sweets and soft drinks and made you brush your teeth, My mom (who adopted me) made me drink water all the time (with the occasional soft drink as a treat). We didn't have a lot of sweets, Hell i rarely got to take a little debbie for lunch unless my mom let me hide one or two in her room. My older brother is a :censored: pig and ate a whole box of snack cakes in one night that was meant for our lunches. So my mom stopped buying LDs and she bought me tomatoes and fruits and veggies for my lunch instead. When I was little I refused to eat meat, unless it was Mickey D's McNuggets :p:p. I was made to brush my teeth every morning and every night. i even had the special fluoride toothpaste from my dentist... it didn't help.

    Basically I was born with very little to no enamel on my teeth. My birth mother and her mother all had the same genetic disposition. So here I am in my Mid twenties getting all my teeth pulled so I can get either implants or dentures. I vaped right after every visit... You just gotta be very careful. If you are a MTLer I wouldn't recommend it but if you DL and its a very airy draw than i saw its fine as there isn't a vacuum to worry about. But this is my opinion. Use your own cautions and decisions. :2c::2c:
