Can Hookah Be Smoked After Removal Of Wisdom Teeth With Stitches Healed?
Hi, i just recently got all 4 of my wisdom teeth pulled on the 26th of december. I was wondering if i could smoke a hookah by now. all my stitches are gone and i almost have a full range of motion on my jaw. It is a bit tense when i try sticking my tongue out all the way. but the holes are almost not visible. What do you think?

Hello,
Actually hookah smoking can delay the healing of the socket of wisdom teeth, that is why it is avoided till then, as the extraction was done on 26th December, the healing will be still going on.
According to me you should avoid it till 10 days more.
Thank you.
