Local anesthetics are the most commonly used drugs in dentistry and are essential for pain control during everyday procedures such as fillings, extractions, and root canals.
In this CDA Oasis discussion, Dr. Peter Nkansah, a dentist-anesthesiologist and Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, discusses the basics of local anesthetic pharmacology, including drug selection, dosage, and toxicity.
