BTW, unrelated to your problems but I would NEVER let a dentist use articaine or septocaine, especially for work on back molars...but I won't let them use it period. It has a higher toxicity and therefore a higher risk of nerve damage...which is considered generally just considered a back luck of the draw.

Only use lidocaine or mericaine (I'm sure I've spelled these wrong). IMHO. I've read too many stories and my attorney who never took injection injuries now takes them if articaine or septocaine was used. I have them write in BIG letters on my chart.....USE ONLY LIDOCAINE and I also ask before they inject me.
