So I have been waiting for some dental questions from the
general public and it has been slow going so I thought I might get the ball
rolling by answering online some questions that I respond to in our practice. I hear this question mainly from new patients to our practice.
Will it hurt?
The days of patients having to put up with pain during dental
treatment are long since passed. Modern local anesthetics (the freezing) are so
effective that in a modern, caring practice it would be very rare for a patient
to experience pain during a dental procedure. What about the pain of the
injection? The copious use of topical numbing gels and a slow and gentle hand
go a long way to reduce or eliminate discomfort from the injection. This most often patient dreaded experience is
most successful for all concerned when delivered in a calm non-rushed manner. Dr Shawn Lee a Vernon Dentist
