The wand is a new form of anaesthetic giving device, focused on producing as little discomfort to the patient as possible. This makes the process of having pain relief applied much easier and is often used for patients who are nervous about needles.
Many dental procedures involve the use of a local anaesthetic in order to numb the area about to be treated. For some people this can cause a problem as they are nervous of needles. The wand is a good alternative for people who cannot stand the use of needles, and can even help to eliminate needle phobias.
It works by applying the anaesthetic very slowly. The needle is not the problem when you have injections and is too usually too small to cause any pain. The pain is usually caused by the anaesthetic being inserted too quickly. The wand monitors the application of the anaesthetic through a computer to ensure that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort.
