- If a person has been taking painkillers for 24 hours.
- To avoid biting the cheeks and tongue due to dullness of sensitivity.

Anesthetic ice cream: reviews
Positive reviews include the availability of funds (sold in pharmacies) and its safety. The medicine works quickly, hair removal, for example, is painlessly tolerated if you use the ice cream. The low cost of the drug, the minimum consumption, the use of acute toothache, if it is not possible to visit the dentist (just put a cotton swab moistened with medicine), also complement the positive reviews about the medicine. When a wisdom tooth grows, as well as when applying a tattoo, this product is anesthetized perfectly.
A short duration of action is the only drawback of the drug.
