Default Question about Oxycontin

Would I be prescribed oxycontin if I had a few teeth pulled? And if so, would I be able to continue to be up and running and coherant enough to hold complex conversation?

no,if you get a dentist who gives you anything at all,they usually give you hydrocodone, and only enough for three days.

Ok, next question...if I have two or three teeth pulled in one visit, 1) will I be able to hold full conversation; and 2) will I be able to engage in any strenuous activity (in this case, sex).

FYI, I am asking in order to find any viable verification of a story/excuse being told to me by a coworker as to why he is unavailable for work. And yes, he was able to have sex last night, per his own words in conversation held today. His teeth, 3 of them, were pulled yesterday afternoon and claims to have been put on Oxycontin.

Sounds like this guy is trying to screwing you over.No dentist is going to prescribe oxycodone for 3 teeth being pulled.They usually tell you to take extra strength tylenol......Dave
