Anesthesia Buccal

Buccal anesthesia

Buccal anesthesia (a. buccalis) is a method of anesthesia that is used in dentistry to treat teeth and gums. This method belongs to the group of infiltration painkillers that are injected directly into the area where the operation is performed.

Buccal anesthesia is one of the most common methods of pain relief in dentistry. It is used to treat teeth, gums and other soft tissues of the oral cavity.

To carry out buccal anesthesia, a special syringe with a long needle is used, which is inserted into the gum near the tooth. Then an anesthetic substance is injected through a needle into the gum, which blocks sensitivity in a certain area.

Advantages of buccal anesthesia:

1. High efficiency: pain relief occurs quickly and lasts a long time.
2. Safety: the risk of side effects is minimal.
3. Versatility: Suitable for various types of dental procedures.
4. Convenient: does not require special equipment or patient preparation.
5. Affordable: The cost of buccal anesthesia is lower than other methods of pain relief.

However, like any other method of pain relief, buccal anesthesia has its drawbacks. For example, it may cause discomfort in the patient, especially if he is sensitive to pain. An allergic reaction to the painkiller may also occur.

Overall, buccal anesthesia is an effective and safe method of pain relief in dentistry. It is used to treat teeth, gums, and also for other dental operations.
