narcotics..

Local Lidocaine may not be a problem, ask the dental surgeon. While effective

at the local injection level it seems to dissapate quickly (2-4 hours) and

thus does not affect the digestive tract. Local Lidocaine can do the trick

however you will be surprised. You think you know where the most sensation

sensitive part of your body is. you are wrong. While the actual act can be

done with Lidocaine, the aftereffect can be really tiresome without narcotics

but can be done. The year afterwards getting used to dentures can be tiresome

too. But it can be done. A good dentist can be most effective in getting good

dentures . . .bad dentures are a curse. Good dentures are an improvement to

general health over bad teeth. That may be a good general improvement. Best o

Luck

jerry has had bad teeth for years due to the excessive vommitting

that he had been doing.. they are rotted and need to be removed.. but

here is the rub.. he cannot have any narcotics.. due to the

gastroparesis. he has a very minimal amount of motility 27% and we

were told not to use narcotics that it would allow what little works

to become nonfunctioning as well.. now if he has teeth all pulled

(for dentures) what are we to do? hell be sick as all get out.. any

ideas?

Poncho, good thought. They used lidocaine to take 7 core samples from my

breast to test for cancer - it looked and sounded gruesome, but I didn't feel

a thing. It worked quickly, locally and completely.
