Why does the dentist tell you not to smoke when you get your tooth pulled?


Why does the dentist tell you not to smoke when you get your tooth pulled?

The smoke can cause an infection on the open sore.
u can get dry socket
You aren't supposed to suck on anything. That can cause the scab to get pulled loose, causing dry sockets. This includes sucking on a cigarette.
I heard it was because it can cause like some sort of blood clot or something if you smoke after you have had like teeth removed or like a surgery.
Awound doesn't heel so well if you smoke, and infections are easier to catch

not just smoking...any kind of sucking for the first couple of days creates a suction in your mouth and can hurt your mouth. also, smoke is very dirty and it can cause infection to an open wound (like having a tooth pulled)
