I have tested now my certification to include oral surgery.
Recently done surgery in three separate surgeries to include the removal/extraction of multiple abscessed teeth (all of them abscessed) in three separate surgeries, the best postoperative pain control for me, has been the MMJ. I don't care for pain medications in terms of opiate narcotics. They don't work. For me, at least.
Also, part of the problem lies in how best to consume the said medication. The preferable route is the use medibles, I am in agreement with that.
If that's not possible, the next factor to consider is vaporization or smoking. It really doesn't matter, so long as you are in no way increasing pressure inside the mouth. That can lead to dry socket, obviously because the clot protecting the operated area is literally sucked out. If you don't mind this, go ahead. The other problem is in the heating of the medicine itself. That's done in vaporization and smoking to release the active ingredients in the flower.
And while it can irritate the area around the operated site, it may be advisable to simply tolerate what must be for a few days, and resume treatment.
Otherwise if you have access to a dispensary (I won't advise anything but doing this when it's legal, or where), I found the teabags that I used provide (with caffeinated teas, as this encourages clot formation, and stops bleeding faster) some pain relief when applied directly to the gum will also provide pain control. Through direct application. This also does minimize systemic absorption.
Additionally, it also can be taken from a cup, so drinking a lukewarm cup of tea will help. One can make their own coffee once you've had a chance to heal up a bit, and stretch the coffee out while home recuperating.
Happy Healing!
