Summary
In this conversation, Dr. Serv Wahan and Dr. Peter Pfeiffer discuss the challenges of anesthesia and sedation for redheads and marijuana users in dentistry. Redheads have a different way of experiencing pain and may require more medication for sedation and local anesthesia. Marijuana use can affect anesthesia and sedation, as well as post-operative pain and nausea. However, there is a lack of research due to the federal illegality of marijuana. The conversation highlights the need for individualized protocols and patient education in these cases.
