New Goal

10/5/2009

I have decided to help my fellow hygienists out by making a post for each day that I work of something new or helpful that I have learned.

     So first post...... today I learned that if you are numbing for the Dr. don't just give a measly amount of anesthetic. Give enough to get the job done. For example, when doing root debridment I usually give 1/2 carp of lidocaine on a mandibular IA because it anesthetizes what I need well and I don't have to worry about overdosing if I for some reason can't find the dang nerve (you need about 8 carps to overdose but the pt feels you are overdosing if you have to give them 2.)
       So if numbing for the Dr. just give them them whole sha-bang then everyone is a little more comfortable!
