Does OraVerse local anesthetic reversal agent really work?

Yes, it really does! OraVerse (Septodont) is composed of phentolamine mesylate and it works by causing localized dilation of the blood vessels in the area that the anesthesia was delivered. This enables the anesthetic to be carried away from the site at a much faster rate than normal. Patients usually begin to feel the effects wearing off in 25 minutes and are almost completely back to normal in approximately 1 hour. It is great for patients who need to return to normal quickly.
