Injection-free Dental Anaesthetic for Children: The Wand™
Dental visits can be challenging, especially for patients who experience anxiety around needles and traditional anaesthetic methods. That’s why we use The Wand™, a state-of-the-art, computer-assisted system which can deliver local anaesthetic without injections. This innovative approach replaces the traditional syringe with a dropper which looks like a wand and is held in a pen grip.
How Does The Wand™ Work?
The Wand’s pen-like grip allows for precise positioning at the junction between the tooth and gum line. The computer-controlled system ensures the anaesthetic is delivered at a slow and highly accurate rate. This technique enables the anaesthetic to flow down the fibres that anchor the tooth, effectively numbing the tooth at its base.
This level of precision is possible due to the combination of the pen grip and the advanced computer control, meaning we don’t have to rely on traditional injection methods. This results in a more comfortable and less intimidating way of administering local anaesthesia.
Key Benefits of The Wand™
- Enhanced Comfort: The Wand’s™ pen-shaped handpiece allows for targeted and gentle delivery of anaesthesia, significantly reducing pain and discomfort.
- Reduced Anxiety: Its non-threatening appearance helps patients feel more at ease, particularly those with dental or needle phobias.
- Precise Targeting: Unlike traditional methods, The Wand™ can numb a single tooth or specific area without affecting surrounding tissues, reducing side effects like numb lips or cheeks.
- Faster Procedures: The system delivers anaesthetic immediately and efficiently, eliminating delays and enabling quicker treatment.
- Safer Outcomes: The computer-controlled system minimises the risk of over-administration and ensures a safe experience.
