Entrepreneurs talk TNN at Utah Valley University.

They gave us an inside look behind growing small businesses and what it takes to succeed. These are some bright minds. Thank you for having us! 

Thank you Dr. Brown for hosting a hands-on event in Washington. 

Personalized training with Dr. Tuttle over the shoulder. This will directly impact their daily dental practice. 

Dr. Kyle Farley, a general dentist with more than 22 years of experience and an ADA Delegate, shared how the TuttleNumbNow technique has transformed his practice. 

He credits TNN with helping him treat more patients efficiently while using less anesthetic and improving patient comfort across a wide range of procedures.

Dr. Farley believes TNN is one of the most significant innovations in dentistry and hopes more dentists will adopt the technique so patients can receive this care closer to home.

TuttleNumbNow attended ADA Forsyth Institute’s fundraising golf event at Renaissance Golf Club on June 29.  

We overlap with Forsyth in four key areas—clinical innovation, research and evidence, education and training, and improving the patient experience. TuttleNumbNow looks forward to continued discussions and exploring opportunities to advance these shared goals together.

On June 3, 2026 DentalTown released a news release titled, "TuttleNumbNow Cites Study Supporting Its Intraosseous Anesthesia Technique."

DentalTown is widely regarded as one of the most influential organizations in dentistry, serving as the profession's largest online community for dentists. 

The announcement highlighted newly published research evaluating the TuttleNumbNow anesthesia protocol, which reported successful completion of more than 94% of mandibular first molar procedures without the need for a traditional inferior alveolar nerve block. 

The release underscores growing interest in intraosseous anesthesia as a primary anesthetic approach and highlights ongoing efforts to advance more efficient, patient-centered methods of achieving profound dental anesthesia.

More than 4,500 attendees were at the annual AAE meeting in Salt Lake City, UT last weekend.

TuttleNumbNow enjoyed seeing many familiar faces and big names in the industry. We enjoy talking to endodontists because they often deal with hot teeth and are well versed in intraosseous and the benefits.

Efficacy of the TuttleNumbNow anesthesia protocol for mandibular first molars: a retrospective study

Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is the standard anesthetic approach for mandibular first molars; however, it has well-documented limitations, including variable success rates, delayed onset, higher anesthetic dose requirements, and potential complications. The TuttleNumbNow (TNN) anesthesia protocol introduces intraosseous (IO) injections as the primary anesthetic modality, followed by infiltration and IANB as a last resort. This approach seeks to provide rapid site-specific anesthesia at reduced pharmacological doses. This study evaluated the clinical efficacy of the TNN protocol for mandibular first molar procedures in a private practice setting.
