Pain blockers that work

[teresa]

My system blocks all Novocaine and laughing gas and I am VERY sensitive to pain.. Is there another alternative to blocking pain for getting a simple filling w/o anesthesia?

Good day
I have had some success with Ubistesin injections. This is also a local anaesthetic, but belongs to a different group, and might be successful in your case.

Thank you. I have never heard of that , but will look into it.

In the US, it is 4% Articaine. Although reported safe and widely used in Canada and Europe, American lawyers love to sue dentists over higher risks of paresthesia. My company lost $800,000 on that lawsuit and they banned its use. I'm at a different company now, and I use it only on the most difficult cases.

We use Articaine here as well. Luckily low risk of law suits...so far.
