Smoking Cigars after Dental Filling: Good or Bad?

[BrittS88]

As someone that managed a dental office for for 3 years. If you got an amalgam filling wait a day. If you got a composite your fine. The same goes for drinking through a straw. I have seen people who have gotten amalgam fillings and pulled them out by smoking and drinking through straws. The composite fillings should have been set with a uv light so they are in there very good and once you're not numb your good to go. Unless you had fillings on multiple teeth or surfaces. If you did then you're mouth may be sore and you may want to wait.

Good to hear. It was a composite filling in one tooth, and they went crazy with the UV light wand thingie at different angles.

You should be fine then. As long as your mouth isn't hurting you you don't have to worry about messing up the filling. It would strictly be if you're comfortable smoking.

My dentist also smokes cigars. When I get numbed up I feel like crap for the rest of the day so I would probably wait until the next day. YMMV.

Fillings are good after 24°
