 Anesthesia
New advances in dental medications have virtually eliminated the
discomfort of dental procedures. There are several elements to creating a comfortable
experience for your dental appointment:
Comfort and Relaxation
The first step is to make you relaxed and comfortable. From the
comfortable environment in our reception area to the soothing environment we
have created around the dental chairs, no detail is too small when your comfort
is concerned. Our caring, professional staff are committed to creating a stress-free
environment for your comfort.
 Topical
Anesthetic
A topical anesthetic can be used any time the surface of the gum
needs to be "numbed", such as easing the discomfort of a painful mouth
sore or preparing a site for an injectable local anesthetic.
 Local
Anesthetic
Modern fast-acting local anesthetics, in conjunction with effective
topical anesthesia, have virtually eliminated the discomfort of "getting
numb". Local anesthetics are available in several strengths so you don't
have to experience the "fat lip" sensation for hours after leaving
the dental office.

 Post-visit
Analgesics
Generally, if there is any discomfort at all after a dental procedure,
over-the-counter analgesics such as aspirin or non-asprin pain relievers are
all that is needed. In exceptional circumstances a prescription pain reliever
will be used.
Any questions?
If you have any questions or concerns about anesthesia, Dr. Huff
will be happy to discuss them with you. We want you to be as comfortable as
possible.
