So I have been working at a few different offices down here in Texas and as we all know hygienist cannot do LA. I was at this one office and I was doing scaling and root planing and the man had just had some restorative done so I asked the dentist if she did a bimandibular block. She said "yeah he is all numb." I didn't even get one tooth done and he was jumping out of the chair, so needless to say I brought the dentist back in and asked her to give him some more. She was just basically doing infills on the mandible and only penetrating like 3mm. I asked her if she ever does IA's she looked at me confused and said "not very often."
So my thing is how can I get her to do IA's so that my client will actually be numb for treatment. I don't know if she knew what an IA was. Anyways I don't want to come across as a know it all, but I also want my client to be comfortable.
Any suggestions for a way to bring this up with her.
