Searcher Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Can't comment about what type of local anasthetic Asavanant uses, but one dentist I use to have made sure that he always dried out the gum, with a bunch of cotton, before he applied the local. When I asked him why his answer was simple, "the local cannot penetrate through the salvia that naturally occurs on your gums." With him, the lidocaine injection was always painless. I'm suprised more dentists aren't aware of this simple trick. Searcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
