Can you use Zyns after Wisdom Teeth Removal?

After wisdom teeth removal, it is critical to follow your dentist's instructions carefully to ensure a speedy recovery. This includes avoiding certain foods and beverages that can irritate the surgical site. However, many patients wonder if they can use Zyns, a popular nicotine pouch product, after wisdom teeth surgery.

Considerations and Precautions

Can you use Zyns after wisdom teeth removal? The answer is yes, but there are some important precautions to consider. Using Zyns shortly after surgery can increase your risk of infection and impair healing. Nicotine can constrict blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the surgical site and slowing down the healing process. Additionally, the suction motion of using Zyns can dislodge the blood clot that forms over the surgical site, leading to dry socket.

Recommended Use and Timeline

Therefore, it is recommended to wait at least 24-48 hours after wisdom teeth removal before using Zyns. This allows ample time for the surgical site to stabilize and the blood clot to form. Once this time has passed, you can use Zyns in moderation, but be sure to follow these guidelines:

Avoid using Zyns directly over the surgical site.

Use Zyns for short periods of time.

Do not use Zyns excessively.

Monitor the surgical site for any signs of irritation or infection.
