can i smoke after getting a filling

Great question! Generally speaking, it's advisable to wait for a few hours after you get a tooth filling before smoking. The reason is that smoking could interfere with the healing process.

Whether it's a traditional cigarette or a vape, the concern remains the same. The heat, suction, and chemicals can hinder the healing process of the filling and even cause complications. It's best to give it some time, regardless of the method.

The ideal scenario would be to wait at least 24 hours to ensure proper setting and healing of the filling. However, the longer you wait, the better it would be for your overall oral health.

You're welcome! Good decision. That shows great care for your dental health which is very important. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask.
