Nasal spray anesthetic may alleviate the need for needle anesthetic
Imagine having a tooth repaired painlessly without shots for anesthesia. Originally, these types of spray anesthetics are used by ear, nose, and throat physicians when operating on the nose. Researcher’s at the University of Buffalo’s school of dental medicine are conducting studies to see if the upper teeth can be anesthetized using a similar spray anesthetic for dental visits.
