Recall the last time you got numb at the dentist. These are probably memories you try to forget, but give it a whirl. Put yourself back in that chair, shine the lights in your eyes and feel that saucy little pinch in the side of your gum or cheek as the dentist slowly works the needle in. As you sit there patiently waiting for the inevitable fun part to come, notice how your heart starts to race for a few seconds as if you just had a mini panic attack or burst of caffeine. What just happened?

This is because of an adjuvant in the anesthetic called epinephrine, and it’s designed to be a vasodilator so that the numbing agent can do its job. Another name for it is adrenaline, and a similar thing happens when you use a sublingual B12 vitamin or any similar supplement that’s designed to give you a boost of energy. Why? Because you do not have to swallow something for it to enter your bloodstream.
