Imagine having a decayed tooth refurbished, painlessly, without drilling or shots of anesthesia to numb the area.
Wisely thinking ? Not if two studies being conducted at the University at Buffalo’s School of Dental Medicine show considerably optimistic results.
In one study, funded by a $100,000 grant by Apollonia, LLC, researchers in the school’s Center for Dental Studies are testing a nasal spray that numbs the upper teeth.
Sebastian Ciancio, D.D.S., principal investigator on the study commented - “If this study is successful,it may mean the end of dental injections when dentists are performing measures on the upper archway.” What I feel , if the U.S. studies are successful then it should be available to whole of the world in about two years of time, hopefully.

The ‘nasal spray‘ study is testing the efficacy in dental procedures of an anesthetic by and large used by ear, nose and throat. Patients who received this anesthetic for that purpose reported it also numbed their upper teeth, sparking interest in using it for dental procedures, so how about that for a breather.

Whatever the medics are after, we are waiting for constructive results...
