Anesthesia Methods


Local anesthesia refers to a topical and/or injected anesthetic that will affect only the targeted area for a brief period of time to minimize or eliminate sensation or pain in that specific “localized” area during a dental procedure.

Local anesthetics are used for simple procedures, and are often also used in combination with other sedation techniques for oral surgery.
