New drug could lead to a quick recovery after dental treatment
Almost all of us are familiar with the unpleasant, numb feeling we get after dental treatment; however, this feeling could soon be cut short by a new drug.
Many patient experience numbness for up to three hours following dental treatment; however, a new drug may halve this. Oraverse, the newest drug on the market produces numbness for around an hour and a half, compared to novocaine, which causes numbness for up to three and a half hours.
Dr Edward Molyneux said the drug would make recovery much more manageable for patients and help to eradicate the unpleasant feeling of having a numb mouth. The new drug means that people can get back to their daily lives after having dental treatment, without slurring their words, feeling like they are dribbling or feeling like they look strange.
