proper use
Your dentist or other trained healthcare professional will give you this medication in a medical facility.

Before receiving the injection, an anesthetic gel may be rubbed into the gum to make the injection more comfortable.
This medication should only cause numbness in the area where it is injected. You may experience a temporary loss of feeling or movement in the injected area. This type of numbing procedure is called local anesthesia. It is not intended to make you fall asleep or pass out.
Your mouth may feel numb for several hours. To avoid injury after dental work, do not eat or drink until normal sensation has returned to the area. Do not test mouthfeel by biting or pricking the treated area.
