Entries tagged with “Oral Surgery” from Going Dental
Spending a week in Oral Surgery... made me want to pull my teeth out. Maybe it was just the slow week. Maybe it was that I'm not that interested in pulling teeth [I prefer to save them]. Who knows?
There was a few positives, though: Learning how to suture, and practicing anesthesia technique.
Speaking of anesthesia... I now know that the effects of topical anesthetic prior to injection are simply mental. I intentionaly placed the topical two teeth infront of my injection site [only after I tried to proceed without]. After giving the injection I recieved great compliments on my technique "didn't feel a thing, doc". I wanted to tell the patient that it had nothing to do with the placement of the topical, but I felt like that would be similar to telling a 6 year old that Santa doesn't exist.
