Local Anesthesia for Oral Surgey in Lighthouse Point, FL

Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale Anesthesia Injections

Did you know that anesthesia can be used to numb pain during medical procedures? It can also be used to help people who suffer from chronic pain. Anesthesia is a safe and effective way to manage pain. There are different types of anesthesia, and each has its own risks and benefits. At the Oral Surgery Center of Lighthouse Point, we utilize anesthesia on a daily basis to help our patients feel comfortable during their dental procedures.

What Is Anesthesia?

Anesthesia is a medication that is used to numb pain. It can be used during medical procedures or for chronic pain management. It works by blocking the signals that are sent from the brain to the body. This prevents the body from feeling pain. There are different types of anesthesia, and each has its own risks and benefits. The type of anesthesia that is best for you will depend on the procedure you are having, your health history, and other factors.

Why Is Anesthesia Important?

Anesthesia is important because it can help people who suffer from chronic pain. Without anesthesia, dental procedures such as fillings and extractions would be very painful. It is also used for people who have cancer or those who need surgery. Anesthesia helps make these procedures possible by numbing the pain, ensuring that we can give the best care possible and minimize dental phobias/fears as well.

The Dental Anesthesia Process

Anesthesia is administered by a licensed professional and takes place in a dental office or hospital. The first step is to meet with your dentist or anesthesiologist to discuss your medical history and the type of procedure you will be having.

This is also to ensure that you've never had any adverse reactions to anesthesia. They will then determine the best type of anesthesia for you. Afterwards, you can expect the following steps:

What To Expect

You will be asked to sign a consent form. This form will list the risks and benefits of anesthesia. It is important that you understand all of the information before signing.

Once you have signed the consent form, the anesthesiologist will administer the anesthesia. This can be done through an IV, inhaling it, or taking it as a pill.

You will then be monitored during the procedure to make sure that you are safe and comfortable.

After the procedure is over, you will be taken to a recovery room where you will be monitored until the anesthesia has worn off.
