Technology & Patient Comfort

Hate that feeling of numbness after  your dental appointments?

Englewood Dental Introduces OraVerse^™ for your comfort.

Your comfort is an important priority in our practice. So if you’re someone who dislikes the lingering numbness of local anesthesia and the way it can limit your daily activities, an innovative solution is here. Englewood Dental is pleased to offer a new product called OraVerse^™.

OraVerse is the first and only product of its kind to rapidly reverse the effects of local anesthetics so you can feel, speak, smile, and drink normally in approximately half the time.¹ OraVerse is not recommended for use in children less than 6 years of age or weighing less than 15 kg (33 lbs). 

If you’re one of the many patients averse to the lingering numbness from local anesthesia, have an important meeting to attend after your appointment, or a social engagement, let’s discuss whether OraVerse is the right choice for you during your next dental visit.

Important Safety Information

Tachycardia, bradycardia, and cardiac arrhythmias may occur with the use of phentolamine or other alpha-adrenergic blocking agents. Although such effects are uncommon with OraVerse (phentolamine mesylate), clinicians should be alert to the signs and symptoms of these events, particularly in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease. Following parenteral use of phentolamine at doses between 5 to 15 times higher than the recommended dose of OraVerse, myocardial infarction, and cerebrovascular spasm and occlusion have been reported, usually in association with marked hypotensive episodes producing shock-like states.
