Can a person smoke after root canal therapy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not recommended: OK, you should never smoke under any circumstances. However, do not smoke for 12 hours before treatment and for 72 hours after root canal therapy to facilitate the healing. Quitting smoking is unbelievably difficult, but I know you have the "guts" to do it.

No Smoking: It is better not to smoke at all regardless. Take care of your health.
