The Wand: Peace of Mind for Your Dental Visits
What Is the Wand?
Local anesthesia is a standard part of many dental procedures, in which the dentist injects a numbing agent into the treatment area before beginning work. While the procedure itself may go unfelt, the injection that precedes it is often a source of discomfort. The Wand is a computer-controlled dental injection device designed to make the delivery of local anesthetic more comfortable for the patient.
How Does It Work?
The Wand is a computer-controlled, pen-shaped instrument that administers a small quantity of anesthetic to the injection site before the needle makes contact with the tissue. Because numbing begins prior to needle insertion, the sensation of the injection is substantially reduced. A number of patients who had previously experienced anxiety around dental injections have found this approach easier to tolerate, reporting an improved overall experience as a result.
