Needle-free option for SRP (scaling and root planning).
Don’t like needles? Relax, because you’re not alone. Unfortunately, many of today’s dental procedures require the use of a needle to apply numbing products. But now there’s something to smile about...

Oraqix (pronounced or-a-kicks) the needle-free anesthetic is here!

• Needle-free anesthesia treatment
  
• Clinically proven and indicated for “adults who require localized anesthesia in the periodontal pockets during scaling and/or root planing”
  
• Rapid 30-second onset after application to the periodontal pocket
  
• First and only FDA approved subgingival (below the gum line) anesthetic for scaling and/or root planing
  
• Effective anesthesia that lasts for approximately 20 minutes (individual overall range 14-31 minutes)
  
• Clinical benefits have been critiqued nationally by the TODAY Show, USA Weekend, CNN, the Boston Herald, SELF and Men’s Health

This needle-free option could work for you.
Oraqix is not for everyone. People with hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the “amide” type such as lidocaine or prilocaine, or with sensitivity to other product compounds should not use Oraqix. For some patients, the pain relief provided by Oraqix may not be enough and an injection may be necessary. Most common adverse reactions in clinical studies were application site reaction, headache and taste perversion.
