How Local Anesthesia Works
Local anesthesia is used to numb a specific area of the mouth so that treatment can be performed comfortably while the patient remains fully awake. This option is often used for less extensive procedures or in cases where the patient feels comfortable proceeding without additional sedation.
Safe and Effective
The goal of local anesthesia is to block pain in the treatment area while allowing the patient to remain alert and aware throughout the procedure. It is a safe and effective option for many oral surgery treatments and can often be combined with other comfort measures if needed.
