PaHunk, do they still use novocain? My Dentist uses lidocain.

She called it novacain. I chatted with my neighbor. She says she gets antibiotices prior to work done. Wow.

They don't use novocaine anymore, but she probably used that term because that's the term that most people are familiar with because it's been an anesthesia that's been commonly used in the past.

Nowadays they use Lidocaine, Septocaine and Carbocaine etc. Both the Lidocaine and the Septocaine contain epinephrine, and the Septocaine has a higher percentage of it than the Lidocaine.

You might have been given Septocaine or a combination of Lidocaine and Septocaine which is commonly given for extractions and certain surgical procedures.

At any rate, it's the epinephrine contained in the anesthesia that can cause the light-headedness, dizziness, and/or a more rapid pulse, but it's only temporary.

Personally, I get a little faint and "twitchy" from the stuff, but it passes within a couple of hours.

Sorry Hunky, you're probably outta luck. This was back in the '70s, dentists generally don't give Percodan anymore.

Mine does. He always asks me if I prefer Percodan or Vicodin. The generics, anyway. Oxycodone is Percodan, and hyrdocodone is Vicodin. My dentist is a very nice man.

Shoot. I am too late. LOL.

Once in a while they do. Or Vicodin. Fortunately I have an adequate supply of pain meds for other chronic conditions.

Your dentist is a good man because sometimes Tylenol 3 just doesn't cut it. Plus Percodan is soooo much fun *grins*

Well I'm going to differ with salty water gargle and swish'n'spit.

A pack of frozen peas wrapped in a wet tea towel and held to the jaw.

I'm surprised the dentist didn't prescribe you penicillin and pain killers.

Luckily the mouth and gum's heal fairly quickly.

I hope you heal soon.

I'm confused, is this to me? Because I have been prescribed both painkillers and antibiotics in the past.

Other reasons for antibiotics include previous joint replacement, or type I diabetes.

I have never had a tooth pulled, but have assisted in many in the operating room. And let me tell you - if you had any idea of what it looked like - you would not be surprised by how you feel afterward. The only time I have seen stitches is for when impacted teeth are removed. Usually the gum is left open to heal on its own.

You guys are soft I tell ya!

30 mins in the bathroom with my ACME handy dandy DIY dental kit and I removed a busted molar id been waiting 4 days to get removed by a dentist.

Ive been lancing and flushing root canal infections for ages until I got some antibiotics from my GP that finished off the infection once and for all and before that it was once a fortnight to see the dentist to have work done that did bugger all.

Dentistry is a bloody racket and I got sick of second guessing their diagnoses so I cut out the middle man and sort the physical and use my GP for script drugs these days.

NEVER be frightened to ask a second opinion, even from a Pharmacist.

YUP!

Saline is a great multi-purpose antibacterial.

Clove oil is a good local anaesthetic on unbroken skin too

Marie, you ROCK! Thanks for explaining that. I always know CM folks are informed and happy to help.

Of going to surgeries I asked the DR to tweak the formula- per sinuses. They did and the recovery went much better then.
