I do smoke, and started back the day after, I also drink a lot of sodas, and although I knew this was bad in general, until I did the research tonight I had no idea it was especially bad after a tooth extraction. Anyway, the gum area around the extraction
sites is inflamed and painful, and when I look I can see white (I can see this in both extraction sites and I'm guessing this is bone) but there isn't a deep hole like some I've read about.
