Sleep is essential for your child’s health and development. If your child has disrupted sleep, it may be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). In this condition, the airway becomes partially or completely blocked while the child sleeps.
Preventive Resin Restoration (PRR) is an advanced dental technique designed to protect teeth from decay. Especially in areas that are difficult to clean. It works when teeth have deep grooves called pits and fissures that are highly susceptible to decay.
Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that numbs a specific area during dental procedures and minor treatments. It allows you to remain awake while pain free. In simple terms, lidocaine works because it works by blocking sodium channels in nerves, blocking nerve signals from reaching your brain. That temporary block creates a numbing effect so you don’t feel pain in the treated spot.
