Anesthesia for dental procedure I am going to be having a relatively short dental procedure. I told the oral surgeon that I could not have any anesthesia that would affect the heart. He saw I had a history of AFIB and said he would use 4% citanest plain prilocaine hydrochloride. Any thoughts or experience with this anesthesia is appreciated. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200104,200104#msg-200104 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:01:41 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200104,200288#msg-200288 Re: Anesthesia for dental procedure https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200104,200288#msg-200288

I do fine with unpleasant dental procedures (like a root canal or extraction ) with a local anesthetic that doesn’t have epinephrine—basically something like lidocaine without epinephrine. This has never caused Afib for me. Sounds like your oral surgeon knows what he is doing.]]> Daisy AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 15 Sep 2025 22:24:35 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200104,200104#msg-200104 Anesthesia for dental procedure https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200104,200104#msg-200104 Pixie AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 15 Sep 2025 16:01:38 +0000
