A client visits a dental health care clinic for a tooth extraction. Which type of anesthesia would most likely be used?
A) Regional anesthesia
B) General anesthesia
C) Topical anesthesia
D) Local infiltration anesthesia
Ans: D
Feedback:
Local infiltration anesthesia is often used for dental procedures. Regional anesthesia covers a larger area than that covered by local infiltration anesthesia, so it is not used for minor surgeries like that of a tooth extraction. General anesthesia is used to achieve a pain-free state for the entire body and is not the most appropriate type of anesthesia for a tooth extraction. Similarly, topical anesthesia is used to desensitize skin or mucous membranes for injection of a deeper local anesthetic.
