What is OraVerse?
OraVerse (Phentolamine Mesylate) injection is the first and only unique medication that reverses the effects of dental soft tissue anesthesia. Dr. Green or Dr. Urbanek will inject the medication into the numbed area after completing your procedure. You won’t even feel the injection because you’re still numbed up. OraVerse works by expanding the blood vessels in the area which helps the body remove the anesthesia from the site. The drug can also interfere with anesthesia molecules or help the body break them down. In most cases, the effects of anesthesia will wear off twice as fast with OraVerse than without.
OraVerse is completely safe and effective for use in adults, teens, and children over six years old. Although OraVerse is a new application, the drug itself has been around since 1952 and has a long-term safety profile. There are also a few side effects or risks associated with the application.
Why Get OraVerse?
When you leave the dental office and your mouth is still numb from local anesthesia, you might have to wait several hours to experience a return of feeling. In the meantime you might experience:
- Difficult eating, drinking and speaking
- Biting your cheek, lips, or tongue
- Burns from drinking hot liquids
- Drooling
If you have a big event at work, need to do any public speaking, or even enjoy a meal, you must wait hours for the effects to wear off or otherwise risk the possibility of embarrassing yourself. With OraVerse, you can cut the waiting time in half and get back to your life much sooner.
