Did you know...

synthetic versions of plant based drugs are modified to
make them more safe and effective.

Ice or an instant cold pack is effective at numbing pain.

Do you know the difference between analgesics and
anesthetics?

Analgesics decrease or reduce pain. An analgesic i s a
painkiller, usually a drug that produces analgesia (or a
relief from pain). Some analgesics, like aspirin and
ibuprofen, work to decrease pain by inhibition of
prostaglandin synthesis. Others (opiates) work by
activating receptors. Analgesics are used as part of general
anesthesia.

Anaesthetics are numbing medications. Anaesthetics
cause the loss of sensation or consciousness as when an
anaesthesiologist medicates the patient for surgery. Local
or topical anaesthetics are numbing medications. For
example, a cold pack provides anaesthetic effects.
Hurricaine topic gel will anaesthetize muscle tissue to
provide temporary relief in discomfort in teeth and gums.
This over the counter medication will be a godsend when
the dentist is not around.
