One of the most stressful moments of a dental professional's training is giving that first injection. Rightfully so. In an appropriately common ground, patients also find the process less than fun. Yet, this is technically the most common procedure a dentist can and should provide and without local anesthetic, time in the chair would be a nightmare.

In this brief overview, Dr. Shaun talks about four types of local anesthetic, a general review onset and duration and which one he uses the most. Since every patient and their dental needs are different, it's up to the clinician to find the one that best suites the situation.
