Numb will be a Thing of the Past
After getting a tooth extraction, one must deal with the side effect of anesthesia: numbness of the mouth. It’s neither uncomfortable or not, it’s just disturbing that there’s a hanging lip that doesn’t feel quite that it belongs to you. However, things are going to change for the better.
Novalar Pharmaceuticals just got a go signal from the Food and Drugs Administration to market OraVerse, a drug meant to undo the effects of anesthesia. According to them they’ll start selling the drug for $12.50 a shot.
The drug is not recommended to children below 6. Their target market most likely will be children (older than 6 of course) because they tend to accidentally bite their tongue when it’s numb. Another market to tap are those who just got some cosmetic dental work done and who would wish to look great when they leave the dentist’s office.
