A member asked:
I had a dbl root canal with a small incision in my gum to shave some bone. is it safe to use marijuana after the procedure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smoking it, No.: Smoking anything, marijuana or cigarettes can adversely effect healing. I would hold off smoking anything until the area is completely healed. This should take about 14 days.
