TuttleNumbNow is founded by Gregory K. Tuttle, a general dentist who practices in Sacramento, California and Orem, Utah. Since graduating from UNMC Nebraska in 1990, Dr. Tuttle has valued high efficiency and quality for more than 25 years. In 2003, Dr. Tuttle encountered a tough-to-numb tooth and X-tips were on backorder, so Dr. Tuttle figured a way to penetrate the mandibular buccal plate without drills, ports or sleeves, using just a 30 ga needle. His discovery led to a complete change in the way he approached local anesthesia and patients raved about not having a numb lip or tongue.   Now after 13 years of clinical success, Dr. Tuttle has revealed his findings in TuttleNumbNow. This protocol dispels myths about bending needles, penetrating the buccal plate, the use of Articaine in the mandible and epinephrine in intra-osseous delivery.   www.TuttleNumbNow.com
