Weed.
You better not smoke it with 20+ open wounds in your mouth...
There are other ways of consuming cannabis.
Well said. Edibles to the rescue if possible to obtain.
Drinkables would probably work better here tho.
good luck chewing toothless
If you do this option, don't smoke, find some edibles. I'm pretty sure smoking right after having teeth pulled is a really bad idea (not 100% sure, but pretty sure)
You are correct. You donβt want to create suction in your mouth for a few days after having a tooth extracted. Youβll end up with something called a dry socket, which is far more excruciating than the initial pain of extraction.
Smoking can cause dry-socket which is also incredibly painful. I smoked anyway after my extraction because I'm a filthy addict, rinsing with saline after every puff and got away with it, but it's a risk yeah
Suppositories sounds like the best option here.
ineffective for dental pain IMO
It was much nicer for me then opioids when I had a bicycle colision, planted my face firmly into the pavement and had to have a number of roots canals and 3 hours of buccal surgery.
For me it just made it hurt weird, it didn't make it not hurt. Maybe one of those things where not everyone responds the same way.
Thatβs what opioids do to me; they just make it hurt weird in a way that doesnβt matter.
hurt weird and feel out of it in a way that was absolutely NOT fun
