“Most other nations in the industrialized world have already discovered what the California legislature seems unwilling to admit: that one hit from a bong can do more to ease dental pain than an entire shot of novocaine,” said spokesperson Davis Wilton.
“It wouldn’t hurt to have a few black light posters in the dentist’s office, either,” Mr. Wilton added. “After a few hits of dental marijuana, dental black light posters can be very soothing.”
The activists, who have been pushing for the legalization of so-called dental marijuana since the early 1990’s, say they are hoping that a newly released study touting the benefits of dental weed, especially before tooth cleaning or root canal procedures, will help them in their legislative fight.
===========
Dr. Glausen said he was also concerned by the source of funds used to make the study possible: “I’m suspicious of any pro-marijuana study that is underwritten by Frito-Lay.”
Idk,I had a tooth ache,nothing really painfully but it hurt well enough.Maybe 3 out of 10,the weed helped somewhat ,their was still pain.If the pain was more intense idk how much the weed would help.
i believe it does work. i was having major pain before i just had my root canal and it went away. but i would have to continuously smoke. just one bong his wouldn’t work for me. then again i may have a higher tolerance than most.
