We should take our time to make an accurate diagnosis first before starting the treatment.
We should just prescribe an analgesic and appoint the patient at a later time.

Why higher concentrations of epinephrine are desired for local anesthetic used in surgical endodontics?

To reduce pain and cardiovascular effects upon injecting an LA containing epinephrine, one should not:
Aspirate before injection
