A member asked:
On average, how many injections per tooth of local anesthetic are given for wisdom teeth removal? is it more or a greater dose than for root canals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Your oral surgeon will administer enough anesthetic so that you will be comfortable and have no pain during the procedure. The amount varies from patient to patient.
