Will I Get A Dry Socket By Smoking Hookah?
Hello doctor, I had 4 wisdom teeth taken out October 5 (6 days ago). The thing Is mine were still inside the gums and were stitched up once removed. I still have minimal pain but only bite food down with my front teeth, there doesnt seem to be any holes where they are and I was just wondering If can get a dry socket from smoking hookah.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
If the hole is not present at the area of tooth removal it means the socket has healed and now there is no dry socket, it looks that you are having pain in your jaw joint means called as temporomandibular joint disorder.
First you should start with a muscle relaxant twice daily. If your problem still remains the same then you should get an x-ray done of that area to rule out any infection in that area.
Hope it will help you.
