Orabloc is indicated for local dental anesthesia during routine dental procedures such as fillings, extractions, root canals, and other surgical or restorative dental work where pain control is needed.
Orabloc contains articaine, which blocks nerve signals in the area where it is injected. It prevents pain signals from reaching the brain by inhibiting sodium channels in nerve fibers, resulting in temporary localized numbness.
Orabloc should only be administered by qualified dental professionals. Patients should inform their dentist of any allergies, medical conditions, or medications before treatment. Common side effects may include numbness, tingling, or mild swelling at the injection site. As with all local anesthetics, there is a risk of systemic reactions in sensitive individuals.
