You know that surgery has been made
painless. Why then, should you doubt
that we can do dental work without pain?
The problem of the surgeon and the
dentist is identical because pain comes
from disturbance of the nerves, whether
in a tooth or a finger. 1t can be CON
trolled in either place, but II is more
difficult I'm a tooth, for there drugs are
more difficult 10 use. But we have found
safe and sure way to do this, that
numbs the nerve of the tooth we are
operating on and no other. We do not
put our patients to sleep or deaden the
faculties in the slightest degree. but the
nerve OF the tooth we treat doesn't know
there Is anything a all going on.
