So, I got a filling the other day, and I’m a vaper, you know? Naturally, the first thing that popped into my head was, “Dude, how long do I gotta wait before I can hit my vape again?” I mean, nobody wants to mess up their new filling, right?
I did what any normal person would do and hit up the internet. I started scrolling through a bunch of articles and forums. Some folks were saying you’re good after 24 hours, others were all like, “Nah, man, wait at least 48, even 72 hours to be safe.” I even read something about vaping making the filling material brittle. Seriously? That sounded wild, so I dug deeper.
It turns out, the smart move is to wait it out. I mean, I did not want to risk getting an infection, the “dry socket” thing, or messing with the whole healing process. So, I decided to play it safe and lay off the vape for a full 72 hours.
My 72-Hour Vape-Free Experiment
- Day 1: This was the hardest. I kept reaching for my vape out of habit. I chewed a lot of gum to keep my mouth busy and drank tons of water.
- Day 2: A little easier, but the cravings were still there. I watched a bunch of movies to distract myself. Avoiding smoky environments definitely helped.
- Day 3: I could feel my mouth healing, and honestly, the cravings were way less intense. By this point, I was pretty confident I made the right call.
After the three days were up, I finally vaped again. It felt good, but honestly, taking that break wasn’t the worst thing in the world. And my filling? Totally fine. No issues whatsoever.
So, if you’re in the same boat, just wait it out. It’s not worth the risk of messing up your teeth or dealing with some nasty complications. Just chill, find some other ways to keep yourself busy, and you’ll be back to vaping in no time, worry-free.
