Local Anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia involves numbing a specific part of the body to prevent pain during medical procedures. It is commonly used for minor surgeries and dental work. Local anaesthesia is usually administered via injection, ensuring patients remain awake and comfortable. Side effects are minimal, making it a preferred choice for many treatments.
