Heroin Sensitive Teeth

[Bob Loblaw]

Lately I've noticed when I shoot dope my teeth get really sensitive. It only affects my molars, but chewing food becomes pretty uncomfortable. It only happens (or at least I only notice it happening) after I've come down from the dope. What the fuck is up with this?

How often are you doing dope? Have you seen a dentist recently? Are you micron filtering?

Heroin is probably a great dental painkiller... I thought that was one of its original indications? Maybe it's some sort of cut in the dope you get.

I've noticed it from a few different sources, tar and powder. I do dope no more than once a week. I last saw a dentist a few months ago, but I brush my teeth twice a day. Brushing my teeth seems to have no effect on if I'll experience this. I've never micron filtered.

Opiates are pretty renowned for reducing salivation so any leftover sugars will cause tooth degradation faster than in well-hydrated people.

I'm really high right now so apologies if this makeslittle sense.
