Local Anesthesia
by Kidco Dental
Local anesthesia is used in pediatric dentistry to numb specific areas of the mouth, ensuring a pain-free dental experience during procedures like fillings, extractions, and crowns. Commonly used local anesthetics such as lidocaine, articaine, and bupivacaine work by blocking pain signals while allowing children to remain fully awake and comfortable. This targeted numbing technique helps prevent discomfort, making dental treatments smoother and stress-free for young patients.
