Local Anesthesia From A to Z


AZMANL / E+/ GETTY IMAGES PLUS

Dental hygienists have successfully administered local anesthesia for more than 50 years without incident. Since dental hygienists started administering local anesthesia, no disciplinary actions or formal complaints associated with the delivery of local anesthesia have been reported to state dental boards.

Dental hygienists are responsible for verifying the laws and supervision levels required in the state in which they are practicing. In addition, they must stay informed about the delivery methods of local anesthesia.
