Many people have dental anxiety and choose not to schedule regular
dental appointments due to their fear of pain and local anesthetic shots.
Thanks to modern technology, dentistry has created innovative ways for patients
to receive the dental care they need in a relaxing and comfortable manner.
You shouldn't have to neglect your oral health because of
dental anxiety, and now you won’t have to. The Wand’s computerized anesthetic
delivery system has created a way for patients to receive consistent and painless
anesthesia for any type of location injection.
What is Dental Anxiety Exactly?
Severe dental anxiety is characterized by an uncontrollable fear
of visiting the dentist. Those with dental anxiety will put off going to the
dentist, and thus place themselves at risk for cavities, tooth decay, and
plaque buildup. An unhealthy smile can become noticeable, which can lead to
anxious patients becoming self-conscious about the appearance of their
smile.
Those with dental anxiety have a higher risk of acquiring
gum disease and tooth loss, and may have bodily health problems earlier than
usual.
How can The Wand
Help?
Those who experience dental anxiety may fear the discomfort
of the syringe used to deliver a local anesthetic. The Wand eliminates this
fear by delivering a steady flow of anesthesia using a computer-regulated
system. The pen-shaped device looks nothing like a traditional syringe and allows
a comfortable application of local anesthesia. Dentists can much more
accurately deliver the local anesthetic to the patient.
Patients are put at ease with The Wand’s non-threatening
nature, and subsequently, dentists can perform procedures with ease due to a
reassured and relaxed patient.
Patients can say goodbye to scary syringes, painful
injections, and stress!
