Local anaesthesia is necessary to provide pain relief during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. This procedure involves administering anaesthetic agents such as lidocaine or articaine to numb specific areas of the mouth. Local anaesthesia is particularly useful for ensuring patient comfort during invasive or painful procedures, such as extractions, restorations, or periodontal treatments.
Ensuring patient comfort allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment, enabling the patient to undergo procedures without fear or distress. By addressing pain issues, the procedure prevents complications such as involuntary movements, incomplete treatment, or psychological trauma. Additionally, it enhances the patient’s overall experience by providing reassurance and relaxation during care.
Ensure proper administration to avoid complications such as hematoma, nerve injury, or inadequate numbing. Verify the dosage and injection site based on the patient’s anatomy and medical history. Monitor for signs of adverse reactions, including allergic responses or systemic toxicity. Educate the patient on expected sensations and recovery, emphasizing the importance of reporting discomfort or unusual symptoms promptly.
