Is local anesthetic cream as effective as parenterally applicated anesthetic? My dentist suggested me a tooth operation last week. He informed me that local anesthetic cream is going to be used before operation.
I’ve never had such an operation, and I am afraid that it will be very painfully. I don’t know if I can trust in action of a cream like that.
Local anesthetic creams are very useful. They contain various anesthetic compounds in ointment or gel base. Sometimes parenterally applicated anesthetic may be painful. In this way, your surgery will be painless. Nowadays, those topical forms are used in minor dermatological procedures. Don’t worry and trust your dentist this time.
I want to ask what drug interactions are associated with local anesthetics?
