Oraqix is a needle-free anesthetic, a liquid that is administered topically along and below the gum line, that’s effective and efficient for scaling and root planing procedures. Your dentist and hygienist may recommend this alternative to traditional anesthesia for several reasons:
- In clinical studies, 70% of patients preferred Oraqix to a needle injectionanesthetic among patients bothered by the prospect of receiving an injection or the feeling after
- Onset is quick, 30 seconds
- Duration of effect is approximately 20 minutes, so normal sensation is typically returned at the conclusion of the office visit
- Oraqix is site-specific making it a great choice for periodontal maintenance with scaling and root planing and full-mouth cleaning
- Unique properties of Oraqix allow hygienists to better control anesthetic placement minimizing the chance of anesthetizing areas not being worked on
