Wondering if it's okay to inject lidocaine viscous into gums?

Absolutely not!: If you are asking if the dentist can do that, which I have never heard of, then i would have to know more. But if you are trying to do it yourself, please no. Go see a dentist.

Dangerous: Lidocaine viscous is a topical, not an injectable anesthetic. Can cause permanent damage if injected.

Bad idea: No one othe than a trained professional should ever inject anything into your body , including your gums. Viscous Lidocaine is not meant for injection. You can do yourself serious harm.
