Wait at least 72 hours before vaping after wisdom teeth removal.
This timeframe allows blood clots to form and stabilize in the extraction
sites, reducing risks like dry socket, infection, and delayed healing from
suction and chemicals in vapor.
Key Risks
Vaping too soon disrupts the protective blood clot with suction, introduces irritants to open wounds, and heightens chances of severe pain or complications. The first 24 hours are especially critical, as clots are just forming.
Safer Timeline
- Days 1-3: Avoid completely to protect initial healing.
- Week 1+: Risky; wait longer if possible, ideally 1-2 weeks for tissue growth.
- After 72 hours: If resuming, use low wattage, minimal suction, clean devices, and gauze over sites—but consult your dentist first.
Always follow your oral surgeon's personalized advice, as healing varies by procedure complexity and health factors.
