The present invention is directed to a method for anesthetizing teeth which does not require an injection into the gum in order to anesthetize a tooth (or teeth) which requires attention. The method comprises the step of applying a composition having a high concentration of potassium to a tooth requiring caries removal or manual manipulation thereof. The composition is adapted to anesthetize the tooth so that the tooth may be drilled or manually manipulated. It has been discovered that the potassium enters the dentinal tubules and odontoblastic fibrils and penetrates the pulpal tissues of the tooth for anesthetizing the tooth without having to inject anesthetics into the gum surrounding the tooth. |
