A member asked:
Could lidocaine be applied directly on tooth?
11 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
For what reason ?: Lidocaine is formulated to be injected, and works internally to prevent electrical impulses from traveling along a nerve. Applying it directly would have no effect whatsoever, other than tasting really, really bitter.

Of course: The intradenall injection is commonly used when conventional anesthetic techniques fail.
