Do I need TIG injection after anesthetic injection?
Patient: Hi!! I m Delwar from Bangladesh. because decay a teeth,day before yesterday i have extracted the teeth by a Dentist(Assistant professor). he was push Anesthetic injection and after extract the teeth. my question is due to push Anesthetic injection, may i need to push any TIG injection for this? my dentist told me not require TIG. what is ur suggestion about TIG??? Doctor: Hi dear , I can completely understand your concern regarding your health issues .The need for active immunization (tetanus toxoid), with or without passive immunization (tetanus immune globulin [TIG]), depends on the condition of the wound and the patient’simmunization history .In my opinion ,if you have 3 or more tetanus doses in past and wound is clean n minor ,as in your case it is .i don't think you need TT or TIG .please rate my answer if you found it helpful .regardsDr.harpreet Kaur
