Hi, I am going into surgery in 2 days to get my 2 lower wisdom teeth removed because they are impacted. I have been told to stop marijuana and cigarettes now. And not to smoke for at least a week after surgery. I have no problem stopping after the surgery but at the moment Im in alot of pain and Im using smoking as a relief. "b"Am I going to have a problem in surgery if i only cut back and I dont stop completely?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Stop the marijuana and smoking even if you feel that it is giving relief. Smoking will also delay the healing process. For the pain you can take ibuprofen tab (if you are not allergic to any medicine). Do warm saline gargles. Get your impacted tooth removed. Hope this was useful. Thanks and regards
