Talk:Dental anesthesia

Blocks

Local anaesthesia is divided into blocks and infiltrations in dentistry (and in medecine AFAIK). Blocks are a made by which regional anaesthesia is produced by introducing the agent to the trunk of a nerve branch, thereby blocking the transmission of sensation from all tributary branches, an example being the inferior alveolar (dental) nerve block and another example being the lingual nerve block. The other commonly used form of anaesthesia is infiltration in which the agent is introduced to the area in which the anaesthesia is desired, thus blocking transmission more peripherally than in the case of a block. Just my two cents.Dr-G - Illegitimi non carborundum est. (talk) 20:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Then, perhaps we should help fix the section! :) Any ideas? - Dozenist talk 01:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Intraligamentary

After effects

There is a fairly popular YouTube phenomenon where families post videos of their kids absolutely stoned out of their gourds on something after returning from an operation at the dentist. Does anybody know what causes this? It's too long lasting to be nitrous oxide but seems to have a really powerful effect. This is a classic example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rNeKS22Wsg --Beanhead McGinty (talk) 04:36, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
