Local anesthetics provide patients with pain relief at a specific site. These anesthetics allow patients to be more comfortable during a wide range of dental procedures, and allow them to remain awake throughout treatment. Newer formulations of these dental local anesthetics show reduced allergic response, and better penetration into tissue to ensure maximum efficacy. With a range of onset times, multiple concentrations of epinephrine, and differing pulpal anesthesia time ranges, you can find the local anesthetic that is perfect for every patient.
