What hurts more a dentist's needle before an extraction or a piercing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Piercing: A dentist is highly trained and skilled to deliver injections in a painless, and appropriate way. The needles are no thicker than they need to be to deliver the anesthetic liquid. Piercings? Training? Sterility? You tell me.
