Provides localized anesthesia for dental procedures involving the gums and periodontal tissues, particularly during scaling and root planing treatments for periodontal disease.
Contains lidocaine and prilocaine, which are amide-type local anesthetics that block sodium channels in nerve membranes, preventing nerve signal transmission and creating temporary localized numbness in the applied area.
For professional dental use only; not for injection or use on large areas of broken skin to avoid systemic absorption; contraindicated in patients with methemoglobinemia or known hypersensitivity to amide anesthetics; may cause transient blanching or erythema at application site.
