It didn't need to be brown in the 60 and 70s when NHS dentists were paid

It depends on who is using the needle. I've had a dentist who insi sted
in sticking the needle in quite a way and it was painful. Ive had a
dentists who barely scratched the surface of the gum - painless and just
as effective.
