Care for Local Anesthesia 

If your child has just received Local Anesthesia for Dental Work, the numbness will last about 2 Hours. It is a strange sensation to most children and they may have a tendency to pull, squeeze or even bite their lip, cheek or tongue. This can result in ulceration and swelling.

TO PREVENT THIS COMPLICATION:

  • CLOSELY OBSERVE YOUR CHILD. TRY TO PREVENT HIM / HER FROM BITING OR SCRATCHING THEIR LIP, CHEEK, OR TONGUE.

 

  • IF YOUR CHILD IS HUNGRY, ONLY ALLOW HIM / HER TO EAT SOFT, COOL FOODS UNTIL THE ANESTHESIA HAS WORN OFF.

 

Please DO NOT Hesitate to Contact Us If You Have Any Questions or Concerns.
