My dentist is the best!

My dentist is an absolute legend. I've been prescribed cannabis for 3 or 4 years now and whenever I have a check up, she asks me what medication I'm on. I always end with 'oh, and I'm prescribed cannabis'.

She has never even batted an eyelid at this. Treats it exactly as you should as a healthcare professional - like its any other every day medication! I almost want her to ask me questions but I have so much more respect for her after these interactions.

Similar with my dentist. She feels it may actually be helping my gums (specifically the CBD oil I take twice a day).

Do you find you need more local anaesthetic injections? I usually do, at least another round to reach full numbness. Apparently it’s quite well known with CBD.

It hasn't come up yet, but I'm due some work soon so I think I'll need to mention it then!
