Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I got my four wisdom teeth removed a few days, and my girlfriend is coming to town tomorrow. Will suction through the mouth while kissing affect the healing process or cause any problems? Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Asma Parveen

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I understand your concern.

I would suggest avoiding any action which can lead to pressure in that area atleast for a week after the extraction. With kissing and other forms of oral sex, the chances of clot dislodgement increase and leads to further complications. So I would suggest you avoid such activities.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
