In The Field of Anesthesia (Pain Control)
Our office uses the latest techniques including:
- Novacaine has little use in today’s dental office. Now a wide variety allow our dentist to choose which is correct for the patient and procedure.
- Carbocaine-has no epinephrine in solution and does not cause heart to race.
- Articaine-the most effective numbing.
- Lidocaine-standard use.
- Marcaine-long lasting for longer procedures.
- Topical is always applied to the tissue prior to numbing which greatly reduces any sensation.
- X-tip is a procedure we find helpful for hard to numb teeth and is very effective.
- Nitrous gas will soon be available for all dental procedures.
- Our office has always prescribed pre-meds to help reduce anxiety levels during procedures. Do not hesitate to request this service to make your experience more comfortable.
