Open Question: i got a tooth pulled and im a smoker.?
How to prevent dry socket
1. Pre-operative oral hygiene - have your teeth cleaned before extraction to reduce plaque and bacteria
2. Use mouthwash with 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate just before surgery and as irrigation after extraction
3. Stop smoking prior to surgery and 2 weeks after extraction
4. Avoid vigorous mouth rinse for the first 24 hours after extraction
5. Use gentle toothbrush and gentle mouth rinse with 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate for at least a week after extraction
6. Follow the dentist instruction and see the dentist immediately if the pain increase after few days or bad taste coming out from the wound
7. For women who use oral contraceptives; schedule surgery during days 23 through 28 of the tablet cycle
