Some patients make you remember why you do this work.
Dr. Dwight Simpson had a patient he could never get numb. A redhead, which carries well-documented anesthesia challenges.
He tried everything. Standard injections. PDL injections. Intraosseous injections. A root canal where intrapulpal anesthesia still was not enough.
She had so much anxiety walking into that office.
Understandably so.
When buffered local anesthetic became available, Dr. Simpson called her. "I think there might be something that may help you."
She came in. And for the first time in her life, over 40 years old, she was completely numb.
Total comfort. A completely different patient from that day forward.
That is not just a clinical outcome. That is a life-changing moment for someone who had given up on ever having a comfortable dental experience.
