In any case

Hi everyone.

Dentist: First we will take some x-rays and see what we’re dealing with. I also noticed a small cavity up front here, so you are going to need a filling.

Patient: I guess that’s what I get for not flossing or brush-
ing my teeth three times a day.

Dentist: It could be that, or maybe you are eating too many sweets. In any case, I’ll administer an anesthetic
and you won’t feel a thing!

What's the meaning of" in any case"' here?

Thanks a lot in advance.
