In a bit of a pinch here. Lousy insurance and a dentist who wont make time for me till march and my failed root canal is killer. Vaping alone isnt enough for the pain is there any form of MJ i can wedge next to the tooth? Like abv is a tea bag or something? Or tincture or something? Right now im taking one RX pain med, 2 OTC and MJ and its just taking the edge off. All i can do till monday is wait it out. After than i can call the urgent care dentist but he only works two days a week :(. Ive also been using theives an clove oil

You might have to go to a store and pick up some Anbesol to get you through the weekend.

Wow, tooth pain is one of the more difficult pains to get relief for. I can't imagine herb helping with the tooth pain itself, but it would help you feel generally better imo.

Even though Ibuprofen is sold over the counter take with caution and not on a regular basis. I know from experience it will weaken your kidneys, I used it on a regular basis for several years for inflammation due to arthritis. I no longer can take any anti inflammatories except for Tylenol and I choose not go take that either because it can damage your liver.

Some pharmaceuticals can be a wonderful thing, saving lives. Just use ibuprofen with caution.

  • They sell this on Amazon or at any drug store. It does a good job numbing in your mouth.

Oh yes I agree 100% and I only take it in time of need. 2 years ago I had a nasty mountain bike accident and cracked 3 teeth (and separated shoulder). 1 tooth got a root canal last year(gum was swollen like a golf ball) and the 2 others will be yanked soon. The 2 that haven't been yanked get inflamed and very painful on occasion and a stiff dose of Ibuprofen will rapidly reduce swelling and pain.

I'm also very anxious at the Dentist/doctors and I suggest Ativan for anyone who experiences the same. Again I am not a "druggy" but the Ativan makes the whole experience very tolerable for me.

Yes for sure. I use the naproxen sparingly since its also an NSAID i already have enough organ issues dont need anohter but once pain gets past an 8 i need something to get by.

Thanks so much for the suggestion im off to check out amazon now :)

Ouch! Im glad you recovered alright sorry about the teeth though. I use to take ativan but ive found i get same result with less side effect from the MJ so im pretty good in that area. I hadnt ha a regular dentist in 15 years which is what most ofmy anxiety was from having to explain all my health issues every time an having my needs often ignored. Ive had the same one since end of August (actually the day robin williams died) and the anxiety is so much better.

If you have any pure canna oil (coconut oil with cannabis in it), you can do "oil pulling" with it.

Fractal Farmacy has medicated coconut oil based dental stuff.. she has one called "pain drain", ingredients are:
Organic honey & coconut oil
Full plant extract cannabis oil (like RSO)
Therapeutic essential oils
Baking soda
Zeolite

Perhaps a local access point would have something similar? or, if you have any RSO/BHO, you could whip up some yourself, similar to the above. Peppermint is helpful for gum/tooth pain, I believe.

Fire it again. I can still find the ground.
I agree with @Enchantre - I use RSO (I use Everclear 191, double-boil or rice-cooker so it decarbed) and put it on EVERYthing. I am a chronic pain patient (with a few other nasty things going on), and yet I am still surprised how well RSO works both orally (I prefer sublingual, some of it ends up down your throat anyway, but it hits a vein under your tongue instead of relying primarily on digestion/liver) and topically.

I use it on cuts and scrapes. I had a never-ending wart on the side of one finger that I had treated with everything the pharmacy had over ten years. RSO knocked it out after being applied for 10 days. I am coming up on my big five oh soon, and I have lousy teeth. I use the RSO, appplied using a toothpick that has been cut with scissors so it is smoother on the end being used for applying it to the tooth. RSO is initially fairly sticky (more like a grease than an oil), and quickly begins to thin and melt, but it is on there long enough for some excellent topical relief. Analgesic and anti-bacterial effects are attributed to both cannabinoids THC and CBD (plus CBC and CBD as well), so pretty much any strain should work.

And SO go with Enchantre's recipe - I apply RSO "as-is", like the same way it goes under my tongue (or before I mix it with EJMix to vape). That's me - alot of people can't stand the taste.

One other note, I still use my 3xday sublingual dose for pain control with tooth pain, so I can't say how the extract works *alone* when applied topically. I do know that it has ended up being the cure-all for me. (Think of the father from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", walking around spraying everything with Windex). :-)

So when I have a toothache that ibuprofen can't knock down, I continue my sublingual RSO and then add a topical application twice a day.

Peace and healing to you!

Thank you i went out today an got some high proof vodka so i can tinker something up and see if RSO is back in stock here. Im such a lightweight even a bite of edibles knocks me down like a truck. I did put some of the tincture onit last night. Kin of an odd "trip" like super couch lock cant lift my head but was wide awake. That tinc was a 1:1 so maybe a different ratio would be more suited for me

If the tooth pain is being caused by an exposed root, you can ghetto fill the tooth using a beeswax of some sort to give it a layer of protection, has helped me before.

Hi Thesoloman no the tooth isnt open it was and they put in a temp fill since its going to take a few months to get to a specialist (thank you crappy diseases for making my dental structure abnormal) an i think thats the issue. It hurt some before but the pressure had a place to drain out now its like a trapped volcano :(.

GenYHippie,

Sorry this will come too late, but maybe if someone is searching about tooth pain later this might help.

Found this on Wikipedia (At: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrrh):

"In pharmacy, myrrh is used as an antiseptic in mouthwashes, gargles, and toothpastes[12] for prevention and treatment of gum disease.[13] Myrrh is currently used in some liniments and healing salves that may be applied to abrasions and other minor skin ailments. Myrrh has also been recommended as an analgesic for toothaches, and can be used in liniment for bruises, aches, and sprains.[14]

Myrrh is a common ingredient of tooth powders. Myrrh and borax in tincture can be used as a mouth-wash. A compound tincture, or horse tincture, using myrrh is used in veterinary practice for healing wounds. Meetiga, the trade-name of Arabian Myrrh, is more brittle and gummy than that of the Somalian variety and does not have the latter's white markings. Liquid Myrrh, or Stacte, spoken of by Pliny, also an ingredient of Jewish holy incense, was formerly obtainable and greatly valued but cannot now be identified in today's markets. Myrrh gum is used for indigestion, ulcers, colds, cough, asthma, lung congestion, arthritis pain, and cancer. As part of a larger search for anticancer compounds from plants, the researchers obtained extracts from a particular species of myrrh plant (Commiphora myrrha) and tested it against a human breast tumor cell line (MCF-7) known to be resistant to anticancer drugs. Research data indicated that the extract killed all of the cancer cells in laboratory dishes."

And, in my never-ending pursuit to of the best multi-use cannabis oil, I am making a batch of the following cannabis oil recipe today from the skunk pharm, which calls for myrhh gum in the recipe:

http://skunkpharmresearch.com/holy-anointing-oil-and-holy-shit/

My guess is you would have gotten the best of both worlds - a non-psychoactive topical, and an ingestible/sublingual cannabis oil.

I am making sure I have some on hand myself!

Peace and all good things to you!
