marijuana & novacaine?

[moon.beam]

I'm getting two cavities filled today & I'm wanting to smoke before I go so that the pain isn't too bad (it hurts even with the novacaine!) but I'm not sure if marijuana is harmless when combined with novacaine.
Does anyone know if it'll cause a reaction?

It's probably best to wait till after... but even then, is it good to smoke with a newly-done filling?

What do you all think??
Peace & Love,

highly doubtful.. marijuana doesnt have too many bad reactions with other drugs

[moon.beam]

that's what i'm thinking...
i'm probably overly worried, just because i have to get this done in the first place.

i'm swearing off sugar. this sucks.

[jo_k_er_man]

^^^ you dont have to swear off all sugars.. try to just use natural sugars

[moon.beam]

heh, i mostly do! it's either fruit or sugar in the raw.
although i have been known to binge on dove chocolate from time to time... :)

update: decided against it, probably a good thing, since i need as much of my stash as i can get, now that it's all wearing off. http://www.hipforums.com/forums/images/newsmilies/5/various/41.gif

i love that novacaine feeling. Although last time I think they hit something wrong because my jaw hurt for a couple of months

I did it yesterday. and I was fine. I was not high when I went, just stoned some.

I think the combination of being high and getting cavities filled wouldnt mix too well. I think it would kill your high

I went to the dentist pretty baked yesterday... it wasnt that bad i just got lost in this random picture of a boat and it was over before i knew it

[RollAnotherDrewbie]

i tried to drink some water after i got my wisdom teeth pulled (i got an ASSLOAD of n20 too) and the water just fell out of my mouth all over the floor...it was pretty bad

I smoked a bowl after getting novicane earlier in the day (like a few hrs before) & part of my mouth was still numb & so smoking a bowl was an adventure. I just wish someone was w/ me 2 laugh w/ b/c it was ridiculous.

[PsyGrunge]

if anything i reckon getting high beforehand will only make your mouth more sensitive and altogether unpleasurable.

I smoked last week and I was fine.

Novocaine is no longer used. They now use lidocaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidocaine) or xylocaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylocaine). Those are links to their info pages.

During my (extensive) dental experience, I've been told by 2 different dentists that smoking weed (marijuana they say) makes it more difficult for the novocaine to work.
I always wanted the deadener to Work, so I'd wuss out and only smoke a little 3 hours before an appointment - but they told me that didn't matter - it was in my system.
Oh well. Also - it's according to your dentist. Novocaine is definitely still used.
