A member asked:
Can you tell me in a dental surgery of two hours, how long does the effect of a local anesthetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least: Local anesthetic will last as long as necessary to complete your treatment and for a period of time after. Dentists have different local anesthetics to choose from, and will pick the appropriate one for your procedure.
