We are building our database of rapidly growing number of dentists who have transitioned to buffering. If you are currently buffering your anesthetic, let us know.
Dear dental providers, organizaions, public health officials, and political representatives:
As an informed patient, I am aware that acid-free, buffered anesthetics are now the standard of care in dentistry and easy to integrate into dental workflows, and as the standard of care, should be used in 100% of dental injections.
I would NOT consent to a non-buffered injection for me or my family, and I believe other patients will feel the same once informed. Proper patient education should be prioritized, including requiring patient consent prior to administering a non-buffered injection.
I expect you will do the right thing. It's time to end the use of acidic, non-buffered anesthetics.
