This episode is a boards-review style solo episode, where I take some time to review the AAPD guidelines, current literature, and throw in a little personal opinion on key topics in pediatric dentistry. In today's episode, I review:

• Amides vs esthers,

• Is septo really better?

• When to give an IAN block and when to infiltrate

• Buffering and computerized delivery

• How to manage a local anesthetic overdose

• Pharmacokinetics and contraindications to N20

• MTHFR, should we avoid N20 in these patients?
