Ah yeah, thats what I figured.
It's called a nerve block. The lower teeth are innervated by the Inferior Alveolar nerve, which runs in the mandible just below the teeth. The problem with getting it numb is you can't easily penetrate bone so you have to do what's called an IA nerve block.
Basically, you get anesthetic to the nerve in the spot it goes into said bone, way back by the "jawbone" in the posterior of the mouth.
I'll see if i can find a video.
