*Edited to add*: Since this was originally published, new information has come out. It showed the presence of graphene oxide in a single carpule of anesthetic. They only tested one carpule of a single anesthetic. It’s not yet confirmed in multiple caroules from different batches across the world. So my working theory is to send an unopened sleeve of all of the anesthetics in my dental office to this lab, and ask for the same testing. Then ask several others of my colleagues to do the same with all of the anesthetics in their office. The reason is simple. Science, properly done, is measurable and repeatable. A single carpule of anesthetic isn’t going to be enough to confirm the presence of anything except in that carpule. So the next thing we must do is get several dentists from around the country to submit unopened sleeves of all of the anesthetics they have in their offices for evaluation. The problem is going to be the money. This won’t happen for free. And if we find that GO is in EVERY single sample submitted, what do we do then? Because as dentists, we MUST use dental anesthetics. There really is no way to NOT use them except in very small cavities. Anything larger than that becomes progressively more painful. I can’t imagine doing an extraction with no anesthetic. I didn’t get into this field to torture people. I’m not a sadist. So now to figure out what to do.
This subject keeps coming up, and no matter how many times I address it, people are scared. So let’s talk about it again.
I try to be proactive when I hear or read something that might be considered disturbing by my patients. This allows me to get to the truth and address concerns before it even becomes an issue for us. So lately, there have been a couple of products that have been released that are long acting local anesthetics. They are meant to be used post extraction or post surgery, because their effects last sometimes as long as 3 days. For those who dread a recovery period full of pain, it might sound like a wonderful solution. The worst pain post operatively from pretty much any surgery is felt the first 3 days post op. The use of these long acting anesthetics is meant to reduce post operative use of narcotics and other pain medications as well. So a local anesthetic that can promise to keep a person numb for 2-3 days sounds like a miracle.
There are a few pubmed articles on these kinds of super long acting local anesthetics. The key is that these kinds of anesthetics are in a liposomal hydrogel. Things like

And this one:

Now, there is a dental office in North Dakota who did a LOT of work trying to get credible, reputable labs, such as Mike Adam’s “the health ranger”, and Dr. Peter McCullough, and many others to test for the presence of nanoparticles and the other stuff, but only TWO labs actually tested the anesthetics and neither found any presence of any stuff that wasn’t supposed to be there. The rest refused to respond or didn’t have the technology in their labs to test the anesthetics. High profile labs that would an ALL OVER the presence of mRNA in local anesthetics if they were actually present would have taken them on in a heartbeat. Here is the link for the office that did the testing, and their report is right there. They use the same anesthetics we like to use, by the way.

HOWEVER…. My crunchy granola crowd is absolutely right in being concerned about the ingredients in the anesthetic because of course, they are concerned about graphene oxide being an ingredient in other injections as well. I will NOT be discussing the other injections because they are not dental related and I try to stick to that on this page. Suffice it to say that Numerous results have shown that graphene materials cause dose-dependent toxicity in animals and cells, such as liver and kidney injury, lung granuloma formation, decreased cell viability and cell apoptosis. What that means is that it will cause cell damage and injury and even cell death.
The anesthetics are Ropivacaine and Bupivacaine that have been wrapped in liposomal nano particles that contain graphene oxide as an ingredient. So the issue really is the hydrogel, NOT the local anesthetic. The one they are marketing to Dentists goes by the name Exparel. Here is their website. https://www.exparel.com/
THEREFORE, I think it’s important for our patients to know that our office will be staying away from these long acting anesthetics that contain graphene oxide or injectable hydrogels. Definitely staying away from the Exparel. The anesthetics we use generally wear off in about 2-3 hours, depending on a person’s metabolism, AND we do biocompatibility testing to boot! Occasionally, we encounter people who wear anesthetic off like it’s water, and we end up having to use more for them. If you are one of those kinds of people, make sure you eat a meal heavy on protein and fat and lower on the carbs prior to your dental appointments, as it helps to make the anesthetic last a little longer so we can give less. But generally, our local anesthetics are very short term.
Instead, we focus on using things in our office that will minimize post operative pain without having to introduce a more toxic substance to the body. During surgeries, that is the platelet rich fibrin that we harvest from your own blood. It has antiflammatory action and therefore many of our patients report very little post operative pain. Additionally, we are fans of the StellaLife, Inc. brand of post operative care kits. I used the gel myself after I released my own tongue tie last year (yes, I did my own surgery, sutures and all), and I have to tell you that the StellaLife Gel worked better for me than ibuprofen in terms of pain reduction post operatively.
The concerns about graphene oxide:
Research on the use of injected graphene oxide (GO) hydrogels for local anesthesia has revealed several potential problems:
1. **Toxicity Concerns:** While GO can enhance the sustained release of local anesthetics like lidocaine, its potential cytotoxicity is a major concern. High concentrations of GO have been found to be harmful to cells, limiting its safe application in vivo. This is why our office is choosing to NOT use the products like Exparel that do verifiably contain graphene oxide.
2. **Inflammatory Responses:** Injecting GO hydrogels can trigger inflammatory reactions. The immune system may recognize GO as a foreign substance, leading to inflammation at the injection site, which can cause complications and reduce the intended therapeutic effects. In a biological dental office, we have a LOT of patients who have chronic inflammation. We aim to not contribute to that issue by injecting pro inflammatory substances, and instead we choose to minimize and mitigate the existing inflammation people already come with, using the wonderful technologies we have available, such as laser therapies, guided biofilm therapy, ozone therapy, and other modalities to reduce inflammation.
3. **Mechanical Instability:** Achieving uniform dispersion of GO within the hydrogel matrix is challenging. Poor dispersion can result in mechanical instability, which may compromise the effectiveness and reliability of the hydrogel in clinical settings. We have no desire for our patients to be guinea pigs, so we won’t be using substances with a history of mechanical instability.
4. **Long-Term Stability:** The stability of GO hydrogels over time in physiological conditions is uncertain. GO can degrade, affecting both the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the hydrogel, posing risks for long-term applications. The material has not yet been studied for long term toxicity or teratogenicity (whether it causes cancer), so again, we won’t be using it in our office.
For example, a study on GO-reinforced alginate hydrogels for the controlled release of lidocaine showed promising results in vitro, but potential in vivo challenges such as inflammation and stability issues need further investigation to ensure safety and efficacy (Gels, 2022) [oai_citation:1,Gels | Free Full-Text | Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Alginate Hydrogel for Controlled Release of Local Anesthetics: Synthesis, Characterization, and Release Studies](https://www.mdpi.com/2310-2861/8/4/246) [oai_citation:2,Gels | Free Full-Text | Graphene Oxide-Reinforced Alginate Hydrogel for Controlled Release of Local Anesthetics: Synthesis, Characterization, and Release Studies](https://www.mdpi.com/2310-2861/8/4/246).
Further research is needed to fully understand and mitigate these risks for the safe application of GO hydrogels in local anesthesia.
Now, that being said, let’s look at the feasibility of adding mRNA to the local anesthetics:
There is a rumor going around about how mRNA may have been added to the local anesthetics because of the presence of the graphene oxide to create the hydrogel. First, know that graphene oxide is a different substance than the mRNA. Graphene oxide is present in the hydrogels, as we have discussed above. But the fear is that mRNA is present in all graphene oxide and that therefore mRNA is present all local anesthetics. That is fearmongering, friends, and is untrue for one very obvious reason. The mRNA substances (you can substitute the V word for that but I’m trying not to trigger the social media police) are temperature dependent. This means they degrade quite rapidly when kept at room temperature. They are required to be kept in a -40 degree freezer at all times except when removed from the freezer just before being dosed to a patient. Literally a few minutes. Local anesthetics in offices are kept at room temperature or even heated to body temperature for patient comfort. They are NEVER refrigerated or frozen. They would be an incompatible substrate in which to add mRNA. It literally would degrade at the factory within an hour of producing it. This makes the local anesthetic an incompatible vehicle to dose humans.
There are easier ways to spread mRNA. For one, I believe 75% of the population was successfully injected with the substance in question. Most of the people got sick and quickly passed their mRNA on to the rest of the population via shedding. No human being was spared from that, even if we refused the substance directly. I would hazard a guess that virtually every human being on the planet has now contracted that particular disease at least once, regardless of whether they were injected with it. So the spread of the mRNA has already happens by virtue of the S. H. E. D. D. I. N. G. (Again, pardon the attempt at shielding our page from the social media enforcers). None of us were spared in that respect. So the local anesthetic conspiracy theory is just that. A conspiracy theory. It’s not true. That being said, because of the hydrogel thing, we still wanted to reassure our patients ☺️.
Lastly, I can’t tell you the number of people who are talking about self replicating nanobots in the local anesthetics. The videos I have seen are saying things like “long C (you know what I mean) is because of self replicating nanobots in the local anesthetics”. Yall, I give an average of 6-8 people per day local anesthetics, and an average of 2 carpules of local anesthesia per patient. So does Dr. Perry. That would be an average of 24-32 carpules of anesthetic administered per day. Let’s say only 1% of carpules had nanobots in them. That would mean that every 3 working days at least one of our carpules would have something in it, right? Ok, let’s say 0.1% of carpules had something in them. That would mean that every 30 days we would be having a patient have a weird reaction. Ok, let’s try 0.01%. Then in 300 working days, I should have had SOMEONE have a weird reaction. Statistically speaking, if it actually was in the local anesthesia, at the VERY LEAST, I would stop seeing people’s health improving after dental surgery. Statistically speaking, I would have had to see at least SOME of my patients have an autoimmune reaction to local anesthetic. Even if it was 0.01%. I would have had to see SOMETHING WEIRD in the past year that I had not seen before in reaction to the local anesthetic. Y’all, I have seen NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY with local anesthetics in my patients. Not a thing. I have seen MANY of my patients tell me wonderful things about their health improving after their surgeries. That wouldn’t happen if they were getting injected with nanobots every chance I had to give them anesthesia. Somebody would have had to have a weird reaction by now. And that hasn’t happened.
I hope this helps y’all to feel safer in our dental office if you are a patient. And if you aren’t a patient and have a wonderful biological dentist, I’m certain that asking them about this issue will also bring you reassurance as to the materials they use to anesthetize people now.
