With all the different anesthetic options are you doing your best to make you patients as comfortable as possible when they need injections? “The advice I were to give dentists”, says Dr. Malcmacher, “When it comes to dental anesthesia I’ll do whatever it takes to make the patients injections feel better. I want to be known as the very best injector to my patients and so should YOU”. |

Carbide and Diamond Burs Survey: How long do you use your burs? What's more important in regards to buying burs is it price or quality? Do you use your burs the amount of time they are intended for?
