Anesthetics in dentistry are a much needed necessity; we tend to lose friends if we don’t use them.  But does it have to last all day?  Wouldn’t it be nice to go to the dentist on your lunch break then return to work without the speech impediment and constant drooling? 

We finally have the answer! 

Novalar Pharmaceuticals recently unveiled OraVerse, the first local anesthesia reversal agent that accelerates the return to normal sensation and function for dental patients who undergo soft-tissue anesthesia.

“How to address soft-tissue numbness is one of the most commonly asked questions in dentistry. OraVerse is the first solution of its kind that dentists can use to finally answer this question,” stated Dr. Stanley Malamed, professor of anesthesia and medicine at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, in a Novalar press release. “OraVerse will provide dentists with a convenient alternative for completing routine dental procedures that allows patients to comfortably return to their daily routine.”

OraVerse is effective and safe for adults and children up to age 6, and tends to speed normal sensation in more than half the time.  It may be more suitable for children to prevent tongue and cheek biting. 

You asked, we listened!  Check out the video.
