Hi everyone, I have to have 7 teeth pulled and 5 fillings, then partial dentures.
Is it OK to have work done with the injection once a fortnight? I can only afford to have two teeth done a fortnight on average.
Or will this be too much numbing medicine for the body over such a long interval? I'm guessing it will take 7 months all up if I go down the route?
Thank you!
 
The LA solution is totally gone from your body within 4 hrs. (Assuming it's one of the commonly used ones.)

On top of that the max dose for a 60kg individual is about 8 shots at a time, so you could probably get the whole lot done within 24hrs if you really wanted to :-)

Once a fortnight is not an issue.
