All Things LA 2019:
Local Anesthesia for Dental Hygienists
Check out the following sites for information on local anesthesia.
Pain control is an important step in the care of the dental hygiene
patient.
For many years, Margaret has maintained that there is no need
for a special device such as a skull that lights up to learn local anesthesia but student-to-student practice is truly key. This
now has been proven by a new going-to-be-landmark research
article in the CJDH (scroll) that she had an opportunity to
review for the Journal.
Please remember to check state guidelines concerning local
anesthesia administration by a dental hygienist.
