CBD and Oral Health
Information about CBD oil and its potential across all areas of health are currently popping up everywhere. However, CBD and other cannabinoids are not miracle drugs, but this doesn't mean we should downplay findings that could significantly impact quality of life.
Before diving deeper into the topic, let's review some advantages and risks that CBD presents for dental health and overall body wellness.
Benefits
-
CBD minimizes the risk of periodontitis - thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties
-
Helps in recovery after surgical procedures - CBD's effect against bacteria, pain, and inflammation
-
Eliminates anxiety - a bonus CBD effect that can be useful during dental visits
Risks
It's important to be aware of the potential interactions of CBD with other medications:
-
CBD may affect anesthesia quality and safety - regular users should inform their dentist before surgery, as they require twice the sedation; local anesthetics like epinephrine can dangerously increase heart rate. CBD is not recommended less than four hours before a procedure.
-
CBD may interact with blood thinners (warfarin, ibuprofen), sedatives, and medications requiring precise dosing. Always consult your doctor about CBD usage.
Hemp toothpaste can offer anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
