Where in the world do they refer to local anesthesia as "freezing tissue"? I have never heard that term before (I'm in the US). Sbreheny (talk) 09:32, 14 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Per WP:MEDMOS we use easier language in the lead, so the current wording is perfectly fine. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:33, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
