Introduction
Tooth extraction can be an uncomfortable and painful procedure, leaving you with lingering discomfort. The traditional method of pain management often involves the use of opioids, which come with their share of side effects. However, there is a safer and more effective alternative - the nicotine patch.
Why Nicotine Patch?
Nicotine has been found to have analgesic properties, making it an effective pain reliever. By placing a nicotine patch on your skin, a controlled amount of nicotine is released into your bloodstream, providing pain relief without the harsh side effects of opioids.
