Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
The problem that you are facing may not be due to the marijuana that you are using. It is very unlikely. Mostly it is due to the dental issues that you are facing. But still as a matter of caution, its better to avoid the marijauana and seek proper allopathic help for the conditions that you are suffering.
It may mostly go away in 2-3 days and meanwhile you may use some painkillers like acetaminophen 500mg twice a day and some antiinflamatory as combiflam. But do seek a dental opinion soon as they will have to do a detailed examination of your teeth and the resultant problem.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
