Numbing Medications and Supplements

There are times that you may want numbing medications called anesthesia to really work. This might be true before deep dental drilling or some type of surgery that occurs in a doctor’s office.
When this is the case, do not take any supplements the morning of that numbing. Supplements cause your body to break down or metabolize the drug and make it not work!
After the surgery is over, you want the drug to wear off as quickly as possible. Take supplements such as a balanced Vitamin C or any type of liver-supporting supplement to help move the drug safely out of your body.
As the liver helps your body get rid of drugs, a liver flush decreases the damaging effects of anesthesia. http://www.drpepi.com/health-tips/dental-care-and-mouth-care/numbing-medication-and-supplements/
