A member asked:
I stole lidocaine & prilocaine cream from the dermalogist office, and put them on my gum, is this okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nope: Stealing medications is not ok, and neither is treating yourself. These creams will do nothing in resolving your dental issues. Make an appointment and be treated correctly.
