Dental Skool Stories: Anaesthetic is Nerve Wracking
Author's Note: Dental anaesthetic is focused on the trigeminal nerve, which is responsible for sensation in your ENTIRE FACE. But luckily, the trigeminal nerve is a simple yet complicated tree made up of three main branches, yes THREE! 1) Maxillary (upper teeth & tissues) 2) Mandibular (lower teeth & tissues) 3) Ophthalmic (eyes & scalp) You can tell which branch doesn't belong in your average dental injection - HINT: it's the one with no teeth in it
