Kratom before going to the dentist?

Post by Herba Rosa »

Has anybody here tried using kratom before getting a filling at the dentist?

...

I'm talking about taking med/large doses of red vein instead of getting the numbing shot they usually give you.

Idk about you, but I hate the feeling of having my gums shot up and my mouth numb for 4 hours afterward.
...
So I did exactly what I described above. I refused the shot and took 3g of my Red MD before the filling instead.

---

It actually went really well! Yes, the drilling was still painful, but it was much easier to handle the pain with some heavy red vein flowing through MY veins :lol:

I got through 45 minutes of torture without even flinching. Even the dentist was impressed! But I think the young lady assisting the dentist was MOST impressed though ;)

Not sure I would recommend it for any major dental surgeries or root canals though. I can only speak for fillings. 10/10 great solution if you don't like the numbing shot.

---

But what are your thoughts on this?

Ever tried it? Would you ever try it?

As a rule reds don't hit me very hard, regardless of the dose. So, no, would NOT try this.

(The exception to that rule was the Denette Red Bone I tried recently. It actually was the best Kratom I've EVER had, regardless of color or strain. But - exception that proves the rule).

I recently had dental work to prepare for a crown but I never considered this option. So I got the shot, the numbness didn't last too long

I had dental procedure two weeks ago.. Took my kratom before I went in... and also the numbing shot during. No problems, no pain. The numbing shot isn't that bad...

I took kratom before getting all my top teeth pulled out, never took any of the pain killers they gave me, healed all up only using kratom.

Never in a million years would I have thought that would happen 😂

Personally, I had some poppy tea before getting my ten cavities repaired. I can't imagine the PTSD going without

Speak for yourself. I was at the dentist two weeks ago as well. The fucker poked the cyst on my nose with his numbing needle and it hurt!! It was so aggressive that the numbing agent was squirting out of the other holes he just punched in. 3 minutes later and it was all good but fuck man....

That's why I always take a good amount more when I take red. I've never had a red that hit as hard as greens or whites. So instead of 2.2g of red, I took 3g

Idk why, I just hate the feeling of pressure from stuff being injected into my gums. And then drooling and not being able to eat for hours afterward.
That said, I'm sure a crown procedure is more intense than a filling. Possibly more painful. I don't know. Haven't had one since I was a small child.

NICE!!!! I also had a similar experience when I got my gum grafts. I took the pain meds the 1st 24 hrs cause my mouth was too wounded to drink my tea, but after that, it was kratom all the way.
The opioid medications just make me feel dumb and depressed. Even video games are boring with those things.

I tried to get myself some poppyseeds for tea a few years back. Sadly, my shipment was seized and I felt it was best not to press my luck on it any further. So I haven't attempted to purchase unwashed poppy seeds again ever since.
