Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hey all, I was just curious to know what you guys were told regarding Alcohole use and Smoking. I know what my doctor has told me but I was curious to know what you guys heard and what you smokers have been doing to deal. Let me know! Thanks! Hope all is well! ~Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Matt I quit smoking the day I put my braces on which was 6 and half months ago. It was hard to do because I've been smoking since I was 15 (I'm 27 now) but I succeeded and I'm so pleased I did. Now, I don't want this to turn into a lecture on quitting smoking but try holding off on the smoking as much as possible, or at least until all your stitches come out. The nictone and tartar can get trapped inside the mouth and doesn't make for very good hygiene. As for alcohol, my doctor told me not to have any for at least 2 weeks which I thought was a very short time. I have decided I'm going to try and go for a month without it because of my swelling. Alcohol is known to cause swelling on any given day so lord knows what could happen to me now that I am post-op. I just know that by the time I get back home to Italy I'll be a cheap drunk. I can just seem myself rolling down the hills in Tuscany as I sip away on my boyfriend's wine. Lol. As the " unofficial " caboose would say, I'm a mess!
