In small animal practice, dental procedures are incredibly common, but local anaesthetics are not used as often as they should be. As the only true anaesthetic, nerve blocks allow you to stop pain transmission at its source, preventing pain wind-up, reducing the requirement for inhalant anaesthesia, and easing post-operative recovery.
In this free pocket guide, we'll help you build your confidence in local anaesthesia for pet dentistry by guiding you through two of the most important nerve blocks. You can view the guide online, or download the PDF to your phone so you can carry it with you!
