It isn't easy. But then I have had an impacted molar. Tooth pain is absolutely unbelievable. Narcotic based pain killers do not help a bit. Why? I do not know. One time I took 30mg of oxycodone trying to help. It was useless. I was fuzzy brained and it hurt like heck.
OIL OF CLOVES dabbed on the tooth helps more. With your doctor's approval KEFLEX is the only, single solitary antibiotic that actually works to kill the bacteria causing the pain.
OK, why all this, here?
Remember the pain factor. The drill and root canal spine hook is a joke compared to an impacted tooth.
Point (and it is important! :)
All Novocaine contains EPINEPHRINE as an additive. It acts to supercharge the novocaine and make it last longer.
BUT! Epinephrine is the LAST medication an individual with heart issues should ever experience. It can be deadly. I have never found pure novocaine down here. Huge cities may have a supplier called a proveedore in Spanish.
Do yourself a favor and get permission from your USA doctor before getting dosed with Mexican novocaine.
Now did this take your mind off of drills and long needles? :)
