Can you tell me of any alternatives to dental anesthesia for asthmatics?

Local injection: Local injection is the best. Local interligamentary injection can be used to isolately numbing a single tooth. Infiltration of the upper arch is easy. Lower arch teeth may require interligamentary injection to get it numb... Make sure have the asthma medication (spray) when you go to the dentist.
