Hi Jimbo,

Most medications slow down the healing response from the immune system. But usually if the meds are taken for a short term, the response is not to be concerned about.

I do not respond well to pain meds therefore I avoid them. I use homeopathy and nutritional supplements in place of pain meds and usually that works well for me.

Don't be scared to take pain meds for a short time if you need them ...so long as you have never had an reverse reaction to them!!

Now go have your tooth out.... ~

[QUOTEJimbo;980386]Bryanna, may I ask why you would refrain from the pain meds? Do they slow healing?[/QUOTE]
