Company Overview
Dental Injections are Unnecessarily Painful and Slow-Acting
Dentists report that current dental injections have a 20% average failure rate4
58% of patients believe the injection is the worst part of the dental experience1
86% of patients want a less-painful dental injection2
90% of dentists want an improved dental anesthetic3
Each Year, Patients Suffer Nearly 2 Billion Dental Injections6
These injections are stressful for both patients and dentists, and for a good reason:
- The acid preservative in local anesthetic drugs causes pain during injection and a delayed anesthetic effect.
- Local anesthetic pH can be 25,000 times more acidic than human tissue.
- For dentists, this means uncomfortable patients, wasted time, and wasted money.

On a Mission to Improve Patient Comfort
Invest in a Better Dental Anesthetic
Dr. Scott Keadle, a dentist for over 30 years, experienced firsthand the limitations of current dental anesthetic drugs and their inability to provide a fast-acting, reliable, and painless injection.
He wanted a better anesthetic for his patients: Less injection pain, less waiting time, and more reliability.
Dr. Keadle invented patented technology to enable pH-balanced versions of the most common local anesthetics, using a standard syringe and protocol. He then presented the opportunity to a group of dentists who invested over $1 million to help found Balanced Pharma Incorporated (BPI).
Now he leads a team of industry experts committed to bringing the first-ever pH-balanced dental anesthetic to market.
