What are the most dreaded words you can hear from your hygienist when you are in the middle of something?  “Doctor, I need a hygiene check, or Doctor, I need anesthesia for my patient.”  This product will not help with the first question, but it has just about eliminated the second one in my practice.  Oraqix (2.5% Lidocaine and 2.5% Prilocaine) is a subgingival anesthetic gel that is indicated for scaling and root planing.  It has a unique dispenser that allows your hygienist to inject the liquid gel into the periodontal pocket.  Once in the pocket, the material gels so it stays put.  Onset is in 30 seconds and lasts up to 20 minutes.
