Unknown: If you meant Benzocaine, then we're discussing a topical anesthetic that is formulated to be applied to mucous membranes, not to be injected. Unknown how it will react if injected, if you will pierce a nerve, if you inject directly into a blood vessel. If you break your rotten tooth, will you be flapping back the gum tissue, cutting away bone with a dremel, and removing the piece with screwdriver?

Danger!: Benzocaine is NOT an injectable drug! You would put yourself in the hospital and possibly do permanent harm to your mouth! Free or low cost dental clinics are available if you can't afford a private dentist.

Do not: Dentist's do not pull their own teeth. It's unsafe and unwise. Benzocaine is not an injectable local anesthetic. This whole concept is so wrong on so many levels. You may cause infection, permanently damage nerves, fracture jaw, etc. please, I beg of you, see a Professional. Don't run the risk of permanent damage. See a Dentist.
