We now have the capability to cut the time in half that patients experience numbness after a dental procedure. When your child’s mouth is numb, there is the risk of the child biting their tongue, lip or inner cheek. Children will also scratch or pick at the site because it feels “funny”. When the numbness time is reduced, the chance that the child will harm him/herself is decreased.
FDA approved OraVerse™ is given after the local anesthetic to shorten the active time of the numbing effects by half or more. Children 6 years of age or older can be given OraVerse™. If you are interested in this new service, let us know. We are also happy to answer your questions concerning treatment options with OraVerse™.
