Acupuncture anesthesia works in combination with analgesic medications to block painful sensations. It also increases relaxation during potentially stressful dental procedures. Acupuncture interrupts the reception and interpretation of nerve stimulus as pain. It also generates endorphins, creating a feeling of well-being and ease. Acupuncture anesthesia is uniquely effective in situations where deep infection blocks the assimilation of pain medication. Using the meridians (the bodys electrical system) to create the required numbness, it provides an alternate method to bypass discomfort. Acupuncture anesthesia supports the whole person during the procedure. An assessment is made and points are chosen which bolster vitality, calm the spirit and block pain. The patient remains alert, yet comfortable and relaxed.
