Topical anesthetic sprays provide fast and localized pain relief for dental procedures by numbing the surface tissues of the oral cavity. Commonly used before injections, scaling, or minor surgical procedures, these sprays help minimize discomfort for patients by desensitizing the mucosa.These are formulated with active ingredients like benzocaine or lidocaine, these sprays work quickly, usually taking effect within seconds to a couple of minutes. They are easy to apply, offering controlled dosing and targeted numbing without the need for injections. Available in different flavors, they also enhance patient comfort, especially for those with anxiety about dental treatments. Topical anesthetic sprays are ideal for reducing gag reflexes during impressions or X-rays, making procedures smoother for both the patient and the practitioner. While effective for temporary pain relief, they should be used with care to avoid excessive application.
