The Wand – Painless Dental Injections

The Wand – Painless Dental Injections

Most patients that have had a painful experience with injections, and subsequently suffered from a needle phobia, think that it is the needle going into the gum which causes the pain.

The most common cause of pain during injection of local anesthetic is in fact due to the dentist injecting the anesthetic into the gums too quickly.

Obviously, it is possible for the dentist to control the speed with a standard syringe, but the idea of the Wand is to take out the human error.

Advantages of The Wand

• The Wand does not look like a needle and so does not make people feel anxious at first sight like a needle and syringe does. Researchers have found that the Wand induces less anxiety than any other injection method.
• The precise control of the anesthetic flow rate and pressure reliably produces a comfortable injection, even in areas of the mouth where an injection may be slightly more difficult for the dentist such as the palate.
