If I am sedated will I still feel the injection?

WE use topical gel on the gum before an injection which reduces any discomfort and the patient never remembers the beginning of the appointment.

hi im having sedation dentistry tomorrow im having 5 teethout i was just wondering if it is safe and will i be in any pain after i do suffer with copd which i am a bit concerned about having the procedure

Hey Dirke Sedation dentistry is safe provided it is carried out by someone with the correct training

If local anaesthetic is not effective (when in the past numbness has provided pain relief) what are the causes? Could the drug used be in dilute form (as dentist gave 3 injections) or was there a problem with way it was administered? This was a problem I encountered when I went for preparation of crown. I have never experienced pain after local anaesthetic before although many years ago I felt faint and was told the drug had gone into my blood stream! The local appeared to be going into my tongue although I’m aware it probably didn’t but the numbness was very different this time and it wore off much quicker. It’s now 2 weeks since the treatment and my gum is still a little sore this has never occurred before. Wondering if you could explain why this may have occurred this time?

the ingredients of drugs are strictly controlled and variation is often caused by tecnique Hope this helps

I had some treatment on the 16th of this month because my mouth is hard to make properly numb, my dentist used a stronger injection. I now cannot open my mouth properly, even to eat without terrible pain up the lefthand side of my mouth. My dentist says it should wear off but it is nearly two weeks now and it is getting no better. What do you suggest I do? Will it wear off or have I got this for the rest of my life? The main pain seems to be in the muscle at the back of my mouth. The dentist also said it could be damage to the muscle and the tendons but has offered no treatment for it at this time.

I’m going to have to get a root canal surgery and I’m not scared of anything that the dentist is going to do apart from the injection. I hate needles and I’m scared it will hurt. So does it hurt when you get an injection? Is there anything else that the dentist could use apart from the injection to numb my mouth?

I have to go and have a deep clean at the dentist this week which frankly terrifies me as he says he will anaesthise my mouth to prevent pain. I am not frightened of needles only that I hate having stuff injected into me – could you tell me if the injections are the same strength as those for fillings or are in any way different please?

Hi there is a type of anaesthetic that doesnt have any adrenaline in it . One brand is called Scandonest Plain . It wears off in about 45 minutes which might help you.. You should find the cleaning much more bearable with being numb . This brand is only suitable for procedures that last about 1 hr at most . The thing is that the anaesthetic either works or it doesn’t so that one can also be used for short filling appointments . Good luck
