Medication that helps a patient lose their sense of pain. A local anesthetic is applied to a specific area of the body, and the patient does not lose consciousness.
A medicine that blocks the feeling of pain in a specific location in the body.
An injection given in the mouth to numb the areas where a tooth or area needs a dental procedure.
anesthetic that numbs a local area of the body
a drug that reversibly inhibits the propagationof signals along nerves
a drug that should keep you from feeling pain during placement of the catheter
A drug that blocks nerve conduction in the region where it is applied.
This is the most common form of anesthetic given for most dental procedures. The anesthetic is localized in one area and generally will last anywhere from 2-4 hours duration, although there may be lingering sensation for several hours longer. Either we give an infiltration or a block, depending upon the area we need to numb up.
Medicine that is applied to or injected in a certain spot in the body to cause a loss of sensation in that part of the body
A drug that numbs only the area where surgery will be performed, allowing the patient to stay awake during the procedure
a drug that blocks pain and deadens the area where it is applied
The injection given in the mouth to numb areas involved in a dental procedure. Often referred to as novocaine.
A medication given by injection into a part of your body to prevent pain in the area without putting you to sleep.
An injection given in the mouth to numb the area which requires a dental procedure.
a drug given primarily by injection, directly to the site where pain reduction or elimination is desired. By far the most commonly used local anesthetic in all of medicine and dentistry is lidocaine. Lidocaine replaced "Novocaine" because allergy to lidocaine is extremely rare or does not exist. Interestingly, in addition to being the most widely used local anesthetic, lidocaine is also used to treat heart rhythm abnormalities.
A medication applied directly to the tissues in the mouth to provide local relief of pain in the mouth. This may be a liquid that you swish and spit, swish and swallow, or one that you "paint" on the sore areas.
A substance used to temporarily block nerve sensation in the area to which it is applied.
A drug used to block sensation in a specific area.
substance that causes loss of the ability to feel pain in a particular part or parts of the body but which does not cause loss of consciousness
A medication that blocks electrical signals in nerves. It eliminates pain in a specific part of the body and causes intended, temporary paralysis.
The injection given in the mouth to numb the areas where a tooth or area requires a dental procedure. Often referred to as Novocain.
an anesthetic injected to numb the area being treated
A drug or anesthetic that causes a temporary loss of pain or feeling in a part of the body. When a local anesthetic is used during a medical procedure, the patient usually remains awake.
A local anesthetic is a drug that reversibly inhibits the propagation of signals along nerves. When it is used on specific nerve pathways, effects such as analgesia (loss of pain sensation) and paralysis (loss of muscle power) can be achieved.
