Without giving up any of your local anesthesia techniques, you can markedly improve your success with complex cases with this skill. Be confident with hypoplastic teeth, infected teeth, and teeth attached to anxious and easily excitable children. These anesthesia techniques can be learned and practiced without the patients present in your office or at home with simple instruments you already have. This skill is a must for every dentist who wants to be their best.

Upon completion, participants will be able to understand and teach others the anatomical factors impeding our success with traditional anesthetic techniques.
Upon completion, participants will be able to show how and where to practice this anesthetic skill without patients in the office.
Upon completion, participants will be able to determine the patient selection, site selection, and what instrumentation to use to maximize this clinical skill.
