Weed & Tooth Infections

[raedok]

Does anyone else get horrible tooth infections/pain after smoking? For me, it always seems like weed makes it worse.. I do have wisdom teeth that need to be pulled which cause me most of my pain but I can go a month or so without any pain and when I smoke after not doing so for that time, I get immense pain. Maybe it's just a weird coincidence but I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem?

Odds are it's from your mouth being too dry to control bacteria.

Marijuana use may increase your blood pressure, teeth are amazingly sensitive and will scream in pain at a new pressure if there is even a tiny infection. Antibiotics may give you some relief but a simple solution is to begin a regiment of oil pulling with coconut oil until you can get to your dental surgery.

Ahhh okay, that does make sense. Thank you for responding, I will have to lookup the coconut oil regiment. I take antibiotics, orajel, anything that should help but fact of the matter is I need to get them taken out.
