Wisdom tooth question?


Question:
had all my wisdom teeth pulled 2 weeks ago, my question is when will those holes be filled in with gums? i went to my surgeon today and he said give it another week, im skeptical because alot of people here say it takes SIX MONTHS. i should add that mine were an easy pull they were NOT impacted he didnt have to cut any thing he just yanked em out... reason i ask is i want to wait until the holes completley heal and are replaced by gum so i can start smoking again..

Answers:
It took 4 months for me. So you would need 3½ months more. However now smoking has no effect on it, I mean no additional bad effect. I never quit smoking before or after the extraction. But why to re-start smoking !

How you are feeling after loosing wisdom !!
LOL joking dear.
Mine were all under the gums, impacted, and it took about 3 months for the gums to fill up and heal fully.
You haven't smoked for 2 wks. I would give anything for 1 day. However, it is o.k. to smoke now.
now would be a good time to quit. why start if again if you don't have too?
Yes it takes 6 to 8 months.
I got mine taken out in March. They are now pretty much all the way closed, although not completely. My dentist said it could take months before the extraction location fully heals over.
It's best to wait and see. It may take a while longer than a week but, you know, wait more to be sure: the gums will fill the holes eventually. But... smoking? What would the Tooth Fairy say about this? ;)
I was told only to wait a day before I resumed smoking - no big deal. There was no infection because of it. But after the first day, I would recommend that you rinse your mouth with warm salt water to clear possibility for infection. Do this up to 3 times daily if possible for the first week.

Also, just pop a Vitamin C (1000 mg) in the morning and before bed during the first month, to speed up the healing process.
yah wisdom teeth can be a hassle. usly its takes 1 to maybe 2 weeks its depends on your body, if your Totally dying for a cigg you can smoke but strongly advise you after you smoke brush your teeth or gargle the stuff that makes your breath all minty either way its kills the germs
