Without knowing details about the dentistry, the assistant can survive. I need to know the dentists' choice of instruments for the usual procedures and how to sterilize everything along with taking the X-rays ordered by the dentist.
Sometimes, I can be just curious to know how can you understand how much is too much anesthetic and things like that. I don't dare to ask such questions to Dr.X anyway. As the X indicates, the Dr.X mentioned in the blog is not one particular dentist, I think, you must know.
Now, let me assume the child on the chair is just 60 pounds.
That is the child has weight of (60X1/2.2) =27.27kg
Maximum dose of Lidocaine is 4.4mg/kg.
Weight of child X maximum dose = 27.27kgX4.4mg/kg=120mg
One carpule of2%= 20mg/ccX1.8cc = 36mg
Maximum no. of carpules can be used = 120mg/36mg, which can be rounded to 3 carpules.
