Dentist freezing what is it

Dentists often administer anesthesia to enhance patient comfort. You may have heard of dental freezing before, and this guide will teach you everything you need to know.

For minor procedures, the combination of topical and local anesthesia is more than sufficient to put the patient at ease. Topical anesthesia, usually in the form of a gel or paste, is minimally invasive, though it often penetrates only slightly beneath the skin. Local freezing is designed to numb the nerves deep within the jaw. Local freezing allows the dentist to perform his or her work quickly and comfortably. First, either the dentist or another care provider will apply a topical anesthetic to a small area, usually on the gums.

But that numb feeling can be a nuisance after the work is completed, so much so that dental freezing reversal, also known as OraVerse, was created to dissipate the freezing faster and allow you to return to your day. Dental numbing removes sensation from your gums, cheeks, lips, and tongue. While this is beneficial during the actual dental work, having a frozen mouth afterward gets in the way of normal activity. You are more prone to injury from accidentally biting your tongue or cheek.

Talking and eating are also rendered more difficult by lack of oral sensation. If you are undergoing a more extensive procedure that requires some cutting into the soft tissue, OraVerse is not recommended.

This is because the numbing your dentist will give you is essential to a comfortable recovery. In this instance, take time off your normal routine to allow the numbing to wear off gradually so that the pain of the procedure can subside with it. If you need to get back to work immediately after seeing the dentist and are expected to speak in a meeting, to customers, or to your boss, having a frozen mouth can be a real issue.
