How long does it take a hollow socket to heal after the removal of wisdom teeth if it isn't painful and there's no blood and how long before you can smoke?

The hole should heal after about a month. The area will slowly solidify and you will not notice any indentation six months later. How long before you can smoke? Never! It is a good time to give it up. You should be very careful of the wound for at least a week, and avoid very hot or very cold foods for two weeks. So I guess smoking would be the same.

Following a tooth extraction 11 days ago you can feel what appears to be part of the tooth in the socket and every time you eat or drink the socket is extremely painful is this OK?
If you still feel what may be part of your tooth left in the socket, that is not good. I would suggest seeing your dentist, or oral surgeon about this as part of your tooth may have broken in the process of the extraction. If there is no partial tooth remaining, you may have what is called dry socket, which is extremely painful.
