What local anesthetic does a dentist use to apply to the skin?
Before some dental treatments, the dentist gives me an anesthetic injection.
Before inserting the cannula into the mucous membrane, he applies a liquid to numb the puncture site.
What is the name of this liquid?
lidocaine
There are also in drugstore markets, e.g. Dentinox
Lidocain is the agent in the syringe
And this hurts very much when the mucosa is not rubbed in beforehand with the liquid ( whose name I unfortunately do not know).
