Wisdom Teeth removal, Cannabis as a pain reliever

It might help, but for the first 72(?) hours after getting your teeth pulled you're not supposed to use a straw, or do any kind of sucking motion.. Smoking or vaping both involve it.

It might help with the pain, but if she develops a dry socket as a result, she's going to be in WAY more pain... Women already get dry socket more than men, and if she uses hormonal contraceptives it puts her at an even bigger risk already.

 

OK, dry sockets are rather unpleasant, but if you are careful and do not disturb the blood clot in the hole, there's no problem. Just tell her to inhale very gently! I've had teeth removed more than once and was toking as soon as I got home! Never-ever had a dry socket! You just have to think about what you are doing!

Now, FYI, as a pain killer, cannabis is equal to codeine! (and I don't know about her, but codeine upsets my stomach badly!) Cannabis is non-addictive and has none of the drawbacks of opioids.

Tinctures are usually alcohol based and would sting like the dickens! Edibles take 20 minutes to a couple of hours to "come on". Vaping give almost immediate relief.

While she is recovering, show her my list- just click the "MMJ Studies" link in my sig. It will help keep her mind off the pain!

I would think the Mepergan , or Percocet 10 she's going to get would actually work a little better than the cannabis.

 

As long as you aren't creating negative pressure in your mouth, you'll be fine. Most methods of smoking WILL create pretty good negative pressure, though. A vaporizer of basically any kind should be fine as they don't require that you suck hard. If your cheeks are sucking in at all, it's too much pressure.

Eating it will be completely fine. The only danger is creating enough negative pressure in your mouth that the clot becomes dislodged.

 

for my extractions, the dentist had me not smoke for 48 hours. It's the same if you have 1 out or all of them according to her. She also recommends not smoking for 48 hours before the extractions (96 hours total) S I have picked that time to quit smoking cigs.

It sounds as if using the fan would be the best bet. Even with it off it sounds as if there is not too much sucking going on.

I also think that you shouldn't have her first time getting high be when she is in pain. Tell her everything she needs to know about it beforehand Have her go at her own pace. Tell her to take two hits and then wait 20 minutes to see how she feels. That way if she only wants a buzz and more will be scary, she'll be alright. If she wants to do more 2 hits every 20 minutes until appropriate high for her tastes.

Good luck, hope she has fun!

you could be romantic and suck it into ur mouth and then have her inhale it out of yours

 

i wouldnt do it i smoked after i had mine done and the dry sockets were terrible. Ice cream is your best friend it just numbs the pain and its delicious.

 

Before I had my teeth pulled cannabis seemed to be the only instant pain reliever that actually helped me.... After I had my wisdoms removed I just had the bf blow a few hits in my ear very gently when it'd start hurting... worked great for me

 

BULL SHIT hahahahha

 

Its not BS, your ear canal is connected to your nasal cavity (which if you smoke normally, the smoke you inhale goes thru that cavity). Did you smoke too much during biology class??

 

just got mine out 2weeks ago. I made a batch of brownies with cannabutter and i didnt smoke for the first 5days. between the brownies and the hydrocodone she'll be just fine dont worry lol

 

I like the guy's idea with the ice cream... make her some 'special' ice cream

 

I just smoked from my homemade bong, thick slide, lots of airflow with minimal pressure and my teeth feel fine now. i dunno what a dry socket feels like but i dont think i have one. I just did slow baby hits and tried not to inhale harder than a normal breath. Everything feels good, i say give it a shot.

EDIT: 2 very small bowls and 4 hours later
I dunno if this was because of the Vicodin or the the fact that i was lying around all day or what but i just blacked out for a second while i was walking back to my room from the bathroom. I wonder if the THC and the Vicodin combined with possible dehydration dropped by BP really low? Hmm, all i know is im not standing up again. Just keepin ya updated

 

did you have to breath in from your nose while he was doing it?
could you breath it back out your lungs?
is it as efficient?

 

you could inhale the vapor through your nose, or even use a bubbler or small bong to cause as little irritation in the nasal passages as possible. Smoking a dry piece through your nostril can be pretty harsh, but its better than a dry socket
