Even though Lindsay Lohan has been banned by a Judge from taking drugs, she underwent anesthesia recently for dental surgery.

She has been ordered by a judge recently to stay away from any kind of drugs and alcohol, and was fitted with a device that monitors her alcohol intake and is worn on her ankle in order to keep track of her intake of alcohol.

The troubled Lindsay was also told that she’d have to submit to drug testing, conducted at random, as a part of her probation program for her DUI arrest and conviction.

The sight of the star, who was heavily bandaged emerging from dental surgery which was assisted by sedatives, seems to go against her punishment.

It’s since been revealed, however, that she received special court permission that it was alright for her to have the dental procedure to have her wisdom teeth pulled.

Her attorney has stated that the Probation Department has been advised of her dental appointment that was made long in advance of the court hearing.

Although wisdom tooth removal is a routine dental procedure, it can be quite painful and it isn’t uncommon at all for the dentist to prescribe a sedative during the procedure and prescription pain killers afterwards.

It seems as though it is a case of bad timing. Immediately after she was required to submit to drug testing, conducted at random, she had her wisdom teeth pulled by a routine dental procedure.

Since her attorney has informed the probation officer she would provide any documentation about the medications that Lindsay would be prescribed or administered as part of the routine dental procedure, the Judge gave her a pass from her probation.

Therefore, whatever she is taking for the pain and whatever she got in the oral surgeon’s office won’t count against her on the drug test.
