Need doctor's help! what do they use to numb your tooth at the dentist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local Anesthetic: An anesthetic is used to numb your gums or tooth. It can be in the form of a topical anesthetic that is placed on the gums, or an injection of a local anesthetic. There are a number of companies that provide topical and injectable anesthetics with different properties, onset and duration of anesthesia. You can ask your dentist what anesthetics he or she can provide for your procedure.
