Our Pain Management

Put your feet up and relax

Ensuring you’re comfortable at all times is our number one priority iSmile Studio, which is why we offer several pain management solutions.

Penthrox <methoxyflurane>

Penthrox belongs to a family of medicines called inhalation anaesthetics. Pain relief should start after 6-10 breaths, it has been used as a pain relief option in dentistry for many years. It’s a harmless gas with no long-term effects. When inhaled Penthrox provides instant relief from any discomfort and abating shortly after inhalation is ceased.

Local anaesthetic

Prior to any local anaesthetic injections we use a topical anaesthetic cream. This is rubbed on your gums with a cotton swab to numb the area so there is no discomfort when receiving a local anaesthetic.

Although you may feel and sound little funny for a while after your appointment, local anaesthetic usually wears off after about an hour.
