Managing Pain
Cosmetic dentistry, including whitening, is one of the fastest growing areas of dentistry. In a recent survey, tooth whitening alone has grown by over 300% in the past five years.
There are many methods for relieving oral pain. They include:
  • Ice packs on the affected area.
  • Avoiding hard candy or ice.
  • Avoiding sleeping on your stomach.
Dentists use a wide array of pain management tools, including:
  • Anesthetics such as Novocaine.
  • Analgesics such as aspirin or ibuprofen.
  • Sedatives, including a procedure known as "conscious sedation" or general sedation (also known as "deep sedation").
