Are There Alternatives to Novocaine?

16th June 2018

blog inner thumb : The Edge dental

If your dentist is unable to administer Novocaine or if you happen to be allergic to this substance, there could be several alternatives available. You can still enjoy a pain-free experience when addressing any problematic teeth and you will be back to normal in no time at all.

– Lodocaine and articaine could be used.
– Their after-effects might last slightly longer.
– Your dentist will determine the best approach to take.

“In recent years, newer local anesthetics have been used instead of Novocaine, including lidocaine (Xylocaine) and articaine.”
