Technically, local anesthesia works by limiting and blocking pain signals from the nerves in the gum and inside the teeth. Earlier, novocaine/procaine was commonly used by dentists, but nowadays most dentist will use lidocaine, which is more effective and causing fewer allergic reactions.

Can you get braces having wisdom teeth?

AnswerIn most cases, there should be no problem in having your wisdom teeth extracted while you are still wearing braces.This is usually done when there is an infection on the wisdom tooth, or when the extraction is indicated to help with the orthodontic treatment.AnswerAfter having had braces, for four years, the orthodontist told me which teeth had to be extracted PRIOR to the braces being put on. The extraction sites had to then heal, before the braces could be applied. Working around braces is so difficult, that normal dental cleanings and flossing can NOT be done.
