Hi. Today I went to the mercury safe dentist. His office was beautiful, the staff kind and competent, and everything went well. They had me select a movie and put headphones on (this really helped!) While drilling the filling out, they wore respirators and I had an oxygen mask. They put a rubber dam in place and used lots of water.
I asked him what kind of injection anesthesia he uses, and he asked why I wanted to know. I said someone said they've had problems with their tongue ever since Septocaine was used. He said that can happen with any type and that it does happen once in a while. He said it couldn't happen with an upper tooth being worked on. At one point the tooth started hurting again, so he gave me another injection. After things were all clean, the dentist dusted my teeth, took images, then used a computer device to plan the tooth crown. He made one, but wasn't happy with it, so modified it and made another. Then he polished it and it's great. The nurse showed me to the restroom to rinse my mouth with mouthwash and wipe my face with a hot washcloth. One dental visit, under two hours. I got nervous and trembling a few times, (dental phobia thing) but each time I'd do EFT in my head and the trembling stopped instantly. They didn't push me to get all the mercury out. I asked for prices and had to remind them, even. They said my five remaining small ones would cost about the same as the one crown, under $1,000. She said they could get them out in two appointments, probably 45 min to an hour. I'm so glad I went there.

This 4% solution (lido is a 2% solution) is TOXIC to your lingual and IAN nerves and can cause permanent paresthesia/dysesthesia. I suffer from a permanent dysesthesia of my tongue due to an injection of articaine for a lower mandibular block as a prep for a root canal. NEVER let a dentist use this drug on you.
