A member asked:
Is carbocaine common for dental local anesthetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I say yes because it is not a rare type of anesthetic. It is usually of shorter duration than lidocaine. In my office I use a carobaine plain for those patients that are senstivie to the Epinephrine in lidocaine.
