OraVerse: From Numb to Normal ...Faster
If you're like so many patients, the lingering numbness of local anesthesia is something you've become used to - but never comfortable with. It's not easy getting on with the rest of your day when part of you is still not feeling normal.
Initially, for your comfort we use a special formulated topical anestetic in order to make the anestetic injected nearly painless. Then, most often we utilize a recently available profound anestetic (Septocaine) that makes even "hard to get numb" patients comfortable.
Numb to Normal
OraVerse is the first and only product of its kind to rapidly reverse the effects of your local dental anesthetic so you can feel, speak, smile, and drink normally again in approximately half the time. It is scientifically proven to accelerate the return of normal sensation and function following routine dental procedures. The same drug used in OraVerse has been utilized in other medical applications for the past 50 years. And now the safety and effectiveness of OraVerse have been successfully demonstrated for dental application use through clinical trials involving pediatric, adolescent and adult patients. OraVerse is not recommended for patients younger than 6 or weighing less than 33 pounds.
Your return to normal.
Now when you leave our office, OraVerse can help move you comfortably and confidently back into normal activity. The sooner you feel more like yourself, the sooner you can get back to being more productive. The average duration of soft tissue numbness following the use of a local dental anesthetic is 3-5 hours. This numbness results in difficulty in speaking, smiling and drinking normally, and occasionally in drooling. Now, we offer the option of administering OraVerse immediately following your procedure. This will allow for a return to normal sensation and function in about half the usual time. And that's time you can put back in your day ... doing what you want to do without limitations caused by lingering numbness. Any of our knowledgeable and caring professional team members will be happy to discuss OraVerse with you in greater detail.
