The dentist prescribed Halcyon (which I took 1 hour before the appointment) saying it will relax me
and make numbing easier
and the non-
epinephrine local anesthetic last longer. He gave me 2 shots of local on each side.
Afterwards, I felt slight pain at one of the injection places, no pain anywhere else. The next day, my face was swollen, and I still had just the slight pain from one of the injections. The swelling was just of the skin of my face, not inside my mouth, not on my lips.
