Topical Anesthetic Gel
More than 68 million individuals avoid regular visits to the dentist because of anxiety and fear from previously uncomfortable or painful procedures, including injections. Avoidance of regular dental care can lead to undiagnosed

For best results:
- Wait times may need to be extended due to patient variability
- Blocks require longer wait time due to tissue anatomy
- Prior to injection, test numbness with a probe
- Proceed when prick sensation is minimized or eliminated
- Patients should not swallow LPT. If swallowed, the patient may feel a slight numbing. Assure patient that the numbness will dissipate within 15 to 30 minutes.
