The Wand: Reducing Dental Pain

The dental wand offers painless, computer controlled anesthesia delivery for dental patients who are particularly sensitive to pain.  Because the wand delivers a dosage controlled by a microprocessor as opposed to thumb pressure, a slow, steady injection is delivered that is comfortable for the patient.

The hardware for the device resembles a small computer tower and the hand piece looks a lot like a ballpoint pen.  Because of the shape of the hand piece, it is easier for dentists to have a straight path for a more accurate injection.  The hand piece is clean because it is disposable.

The immediate benefit a patient derives from receiving an injection through the dental wand is painlessness.  After the injection, the patient will notice that their lips, cheeks, tongue and face are not numb for hours.  This is because the dental want allows the dentist or dental technician to hit exactly the right spot and numb only the tooth or teeth being worked on.  Further, the technique is so painless that it is even comfortable for use on the sensitive palate.

If you fear the sting of the injection before dental work, ask your dentist about the dental wand today for a painless, direct numbing method.
