Cigars after dental work?

I’m a bit miffed. After several years of dental neglect (re: not going for regular check-ups), my dentist told me I had three cavities. Yesterday, he put fillings in and my mouth is still sore this morning.

I really, really wanted a cigar last night. Anyone have an idea of when I can light up again? I’ve never had dental work like this before.

    I just went through a ton of dental work myself. I know they asked that you wait 24 hours before smoking after having your teeth pulled so that should be long enough for fillings. I just had 7 Cavities and 2 teeth pulled a couple of weeks ago myself, after nearly 10 years of neglect. I’m going every six months for now on!

    They are still sore? Go take some advil. It’s probably also sore becuase you had your teeth cleaned. My gums and what not always hurt after that.

    You should have asked your dentist about your sore mouth the next day. you should have took the cigar after 24 hours.

    One must avoid cigar and all such smoking stuffs after dental procedures for atleast 24hrs.Teeth are the most common site of infection and should take good hygiene of them.Infact regular dental checkups are mandatory.As a homoeopathic physician i suggest this.

    You better avoid smoking because it'll just worsen your dental problems. Maybe you can just do sports and other activities. Smoking is not only bad for the health, it is also the cause of gum disease.

    I think it's better that you avoid taking cigars for a while and just do other activities. It also affects your dental health and you may have gum disease if you continue smoking.

    If you want that you don,t get cavities again then its very necessary that you quit cigars. You should maintain oral hygiene & cigar smoking leads to a lot of medical problems.

    Smoking is very bad for teeth. They spoil teeth. Also it acts as a risk factor to oral cancer.
