Smoking is: Never ok. However, 4 days after the wisdom teeth surgery if no bleeding, swelling or pain you can go back to your daily routine.

Wisdom teeth : It is never a good idea to smoke. Since you have not smoked for 4 days, use this as your start to quit. If you want to smoke you will smoke.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction (tooth #18). I am now about 75 hours post extraction. The white clot (or piece of it?) dislodged and I spit it out. I can't see in the mirror if there is other material left. No pain. Could I have dry socket sans pain?
