Re: Numb after wisdom teeth removal

If you fail with the IANB, try placing a little anesthetic back behind where
you would normally put a SANB. The mandibular nerve often branches off back
there. You get the lingual and mandibular on those patients who are wired a
tiny bit differently. Trust me it works almost 100% of the time.
