Okay so you were just by the Dentist and got a tooth extraction, you just want to go home hit the couch, and feel that magical hit. But is it safe to smoke weed after you just had a tooth extraction?
According to bestpotdelivery.com, a person can smoke weed within 3 to 4 hours of having your surgery, but they do recommend waiting 6 to 9 hours. If you want to play it safe rather have edibles.
Most of cannabis smokers smoke a few hours after their tooth extraction and do not have any negative consequences, but I advise you not to do this.
You may be thinking weed calms me down, relieves pain and anxiety so it is the best option after a tooth extraction. Although weed is not harmful it can delay your recovery time if it is not done under certain oral hygiene conditions.
If you smoke carefully, it will not cause an infection after your tooth extraction.
If you do proper oral care, you can smoke weed within the next 2 to 3 hours after your tooth extraction. Make sure to rinse your mouth with saline solution this will prevent any infections as well as infections around the wound.

By smoking weed, you will enhance the healing process. After your tooth is extracted, it forms a socket. The socket automatically fills with the clot and by smoking weed, it will help with the healing process by reducing the pain, inflammation, and the possible discomfort that you will experience. Just make sure to rinse your mouth after you have smoked.
