Oraqix

Needle-Free Makes Everyone Happy

Whether you’re the patient, the dental hygienist or the dentist, Oraqix gives you something to smile about.

Since 2004, Oraqix has changed the way pain relief is administered to patients undergoing periodontal debridement—a tedious, time-consuming and oftentimes uncomfortable procedure.

In as little as 30 seconds, Oraqix puts patients at ease—eliminating the needle and the potential for pain. With patients more comfortable, dental hygienists can perform the procedure better and faster. And dentists and dental hygienists alike, are confident in choosing Oraqix because it is FDA-approved with a well-established safety profile.

Forget the Needle.
Oraqix Offers Needle-free Pain Relief

Oraqix is a needle-free anesthesia, administered topically at and below the gum line, that’s effective and efficient for scaling and root planing procedures. Your dentist and hygienist may recommend this alternative to traditional anesthesia for several reasons:

In clinical studies, 70% of patients preferred Oraqix to a needle injection anesthetic
Onset is quick, 30 seconds
Duration of effect is approximately 20 minutes, so normal sensation is returned at conclusion of the office visit
Oraqix is site-specific making it perfect for periodontal maintenance and full-mouth SRP
Unique properties of Oraqix allow hygienists to better control anesthetic placement so you don’t experience numbness in areas not being worked on

Full Mouth Scaling and Root Planing

There is some evidence that full mouth scaling and root planing may improve therapeutic results in patients.3 The reason for this, in simple terms, is that treating and removing bacteria at one time, in the entire mouth, may prevent bacteria from translocating to treated areas from untreated areas in between visits.
