A member asked:
Can you tell me what kind of anesthesia is used when pulling a badly broken abcessed tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Local anesthesia: Usually local anesthesia is all that is needed unless you are really anxious and want to be asleep, then an oral surgeon would use conscious sedation.
