Sorry if this is a repost. Can’t search due to having to having to be verified as a new user.

I was once talking with a trumpet player that said there is a type of anesthetic that can cause nerve damage and he said his dentist doesn’t use it because of this reason. I have to have some dental work done and I wanted to mention this to my dentist. I can’t remember who told me and what the name of the anesthetic was.

AHA !!!

That's why I can't play like Urbie or Bill. ( ( (

A bit of heavy reading here says there is some risk.

Significant ? Dunno.

Wonder if we still have the dentists on this forum ?
