A member asked:
What do you advise for heart racing after novicane shot at dentist, is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can happen: The heart racing after a dental injection is caused by the rush from the Epinephrine in the anesthetic . Ask your dentist to use an anesthetic without epinephrine.
