Hate That Numb Feeling?

Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Numbness Away!

One of the biggest complaints that patients have is not only getting numb but that the feeling lasts for hours after they leave the office!
Well relief may be on the way to solve the dilemma.

A drug that reverses the numbing effects of local anesthesia used by dentists was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for patients as young as 6 years old. OraVerse is the first dental anesthesia reversal agent on the market. It cuts in half the time it takes for Novocaine and other numbing agents to wear off, according to clinical studies. About 40 percent of patients in the trials felt sensation return within an hour of receiving the OraVerse injection. The company who has produced OraVerse, Novalar will begin making the drug available this October at the annual American Dental Association meeting.

For many of us who can remember the days when their dentist may no have used anesthesia before a dental procedure, this drug will be an incredible solution to a nagging problem of eliminating the after dental office drool! If you have any questions or need an appointment to see us, please give Faith a call at 561-394-9000. Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
