Can A Deep Cleaning Procedure Along With Acclean After A Dental Appointment Wash Traces Of Marijuana Out Of The Mouth?

Hi, I took a swab drug test after I left the dentist . I had a deep cleaning procedure and they also gave me a medicated mouthwash called Acclean. However about 26hrs prior before the drug test I smoked some weed, I was wondering if there s a chance that the medicated mouthwash along with the deep cleaning could have washed traces of the thc out of my saliva. I swished with the mouthwash less than 10min before the test. Thanks Veeda

Hi,

Well, there is no sure shot document that deep cleaning can help in clearing swab test, if you have recently smoked weed.

However, cleaning the mouth thoroughly can help in clearing old saliva and this can help in reducing the positivity of the test as the new saliva has lower concentration of the drugs. But the best way is to avoid using recreational drugs at least 72 hours before the swab test.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
