Topical Anesthetics In New Lenox, IL
Local anesthesia is a type of anesthetic used to prevent pain in a specific area of your mouth during treatment by blocking the nerves that sense or transmit pain, which numbs mouth tissues. Your dentist may apply a topical anesthetic to numb an area in preparation for administering an injectable local anesthetic. Topical anesthetics may also be used to soothe painful mouth sores.
Numbing Gel & Rinse
We want to make our patients’ visits painless, gentle and comfortable. We do this by applying a topical anesthetic, commonly referred to by dentists as numbing gel and rinse, to your mouth to numb the treatment area before we inject the local anesthetic and to help reduce anxiety that usually comes with dental procedures.
This gel is applied to your cheek or gums at the beginning of your visit by our dentists, and we let the gel sit on the surface for a few minutes to allow the numbing to take effect. This way, when we inject the local anesthetic, it should minimize your anxiety about the needle, and you won’t feel a thing.
