I've found tooth pain the one thing cannabis can't help me with... too close to my brain or something. Thought I was going to go insane with pain after getting dry sockets from pulled wisdom teeth.
I'd have to agree with OBXGardener on that one -- a while back, I had to wait three days to have a root canal (it was over a holiday weekend) and that was the most pain I'd ever experienced in my life.
People say root canals hurt -- nope. You don't feel a thing -- nothing. But the pain and swelling that accompanies an infected root? Like nothing on earth.
I was taking tylenol, motrin, etc... at more than the maximum daily doses and I still was in absolute agony.
I did continue to medicate with cannabis during this time, as I've been a patient for a while now, but I have to say that cannabis did nothing for the pain -- it was just far to intense. Now, my medical cannabis did help enormously for the stress I was under being in that much pain -- believe me, I was crying it was so bad. So in that sense cannabis was essential for helping me stay calm and get through the pain.
Good luck, I'm sure you'll feel much better after you heal... dental pain is in my opinion, one of the worst types of pain, because it just does not go away -- you can't ignore it.
