Nicotine after wisdom teeth removal can delay healing and increase the risk of complications, such as dry socket. This is because nicotine constricts blood vessels causing the wound site to receive less blood and oxygen. As a result, the healing process is slowed down and the risk of infection increases.
Complication | Risk Increase |
---|---|
Dry socket | 2-3 times more likely |
Infection | 1.6 times more likely |
Smoking Status | Risk of Dry Socket |
---|---|
Non-smoker | 5% |
Current smoker | 10-20% |
Former smoker (within 2 years) | 10% |
"I quit smoking before my wisdom teeth removal and I didn't have any problems." - Mary, 25
"I was a smoker before my wisdom teeth removal. I quit for a week before surgery and I didn't have any complications." - John, 30
"I was a heavy smoker before my wisdom teeth removal. I quit for two weeks before surgery and I had a dry socket. I wish I had quit smoking sooner." - Sarah, 35
Nicotine after wisdom teeth removal can lead to complications. By quitting smoking before surgery and avoiding nicotine afterwards, you can reduce your risk of complications and ensure a successful recovery.
