Does an anesthesia injection in the mouth cause pain?
Anesthesia injections will not hurt a lot, however, you will feel a few pinches that quickly fade away. Our clinicians pat each patient's shoulder during this process to help ease any anxiety. Our patients often find that counting backwards from 10 or wiggling their toes when they feel something helps. The more calm you are, the more effective anesthesia will be. READ MORE
I let a cavity go way too far, and it's causing a lot of pain. What should I do?
I recommend seeing a dentist to evaluate the area. If there is an active infection, a dentist will prescribe antibiotics. You can return on a later date for treatment. Avoid strenuous activities, stay elevated-- bend with your knees, use extra pillows when sleeping, apply a cold compress to the cheek area, avoid hot/cold foods if you have temperature sensitivity, and if you have no conflicts with taking Ibuprofen then most patient's can take up to 800 mg Ibuprofen every 6-8 hours.
