Thank you, Mr. Peebles. Thank you. |
|
While I was getting dental work, they had to give me a shot of topical anesthetic. The shot always hurt... the doctor said, "Think about something else." So I clenched my fists and the only thing that came to mind was cute little Mr. Peebles... he helped me through the pain. Thank you, Mr. Peebles, thank you.

3. Tell Your Dentist There's A NEW Technique! |
|
When injecting Novocaine or any of the other analgesics, go VERY slowly, Inject a small amount, Either advance or draw the needle back fractionally and inject some more. Lather Rinse Repeat.
What happens is that the anesthetic numbs the area ahead of the needle! It TAKES a bit longer (infusion takes maybe 30 to 50 seconds longer) but it FEELS a whole bunch better! Newer dentists are using it and find that patient tolerance has gone up tremendously.
Check dental literature on the subject.
