Can Smoking Marijuana Result In Tooth Infection?

Why is smoking Marijuana bad for a tooth infection? I am on a lot of medication from antibiotics to pain pills. They make me very nauseous and done hello worth the pain. The Marijuana relaxes me and relieves the nausea. Is it bad to smoke with stitches in my mouth? Why?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The smoking marijuana will not cause tooth infection but it can aggravate the existing tooth infection and result in pain. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You cam take a course of antibiotics like amoxycillin and metronidazole(if you are not allergic). Along with antibiotics, you can take antacid and antiemetic. Yes it is bad to smoke when you have stitches in mouth, it results in infection. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
