The number of injections required for a tooth extraction can vary depending on the tooth being extracted. For multi-rooted teeth, 3 injections on the outer surface are typically administered.
Here's a breakdown:
- Injection Sites: The injections are strategically placed:
- The 1st is in the mesial side
- The 2nd is in the distal side of the crown.
- Placement: The injections are given 3-5 mm from the neck of the tooth.
- Dosage: Each injection typically consists of about 0.5-1 ml of anesthetic.
- Timing: It takes 5-10 minutes for the anesthetic to take full effect, with the numbing lasting approximately 30-40 minutes.
| Tooth Type | Number of Injections |
|---|---|
| Multi-rooted Teeth | 3 |
