Also day 3 start doing warm salt water rinses 2 or 3 times a day helps alot. I was told not to smoke for 5-7 days after surgery, but finally on day 4 about midday i gave in and had one. Did a salt water rinse that night and when i spat out the salt water notice there was blood. From that point on my back bottom right side hurt real fricken bad. It was pretty unbearable. I finally was able to see my doctor again the day after christmas and i found out it was a dry socket. So imo i would hold off on smoking 4 as long as you can.

Jesus. I've smoked a half dozen already today. But, I did my homework, and found that the suction of puffing a smoke is what the main cause of dry socket is. It said if I just barely drew off of it I should be fine. Please God, don't punish me for defiling my body. Please.
