It's a strong topical anesthetic patch that is used on the palatal surface; it offers a numbing effect that is needed prior to an injection being placed in the roof of the mouth or palatal surface. It's called a "Dentapatch," this is a web site that can give you some information.

It's just a topical anesthetic cream, like Oralgel. It's probably Benzocaine. It numbs the buccal mucosa, or tissues, inside the mouth.
