How does The Wand Minimize Injection Sensitivity?


If you're nervous about going to the dentist—especially when you know there's going to be an local anesthetic injection involved—you're definitely not alone. Most people have some fears when it comes to gum injections, and it's only natural to be a bit squeamish about being injected in such a sensitive area. If you've been avoiding going to the dentist for this reason, there's some good news: the development of technology such as The Wand is making it more comfortable to get much needed procedures.

What is The Wand?


The Wand makes those problems a thing of the past. It's a computer-aided dental anesthesia delivery system that makes dental injections so quick and painless you barely even know you've had a shot. This computer- aided technology allows the dentist to control things like the flow rate and pressure of the anesthetic as it's being administered, as well as the position of the needle. This monitoring makes the local anesthetic injection itself more predictable and more controlled, and typically causes much less discomfort than a normal local anesthetic shot.

Better yet, The Wand is so sensitive that it can deliver anesthesia to a single tooth and leave the adjacent teeth completely unaffected. That means there's less mouth numbness after the procedure, making recovery easier.

Don't Let Dental Fear Keep You From Getting the Treatment You Need!


Forgoing needed dental treatments due to anxiety over shots and other procedures is very common, but it's not a good idea to avoid getting treatment. Neglecting your oral health may lead to problems such as gum disease and tooth loss, so it's important to see your dentist regularly.

At Sierra Dental, Dr. Williams genuinely cares about patient comfort, and that's one reason why investing in technology such as the dental wand is a top priority. Dr. Williams is pleased to be one of the first dentists in the Green Bay area to utilize this technology. Thanks to The Wand there is no reason to fear local anesthetic or dental treatment anymore, so call us today at our Green Bay office to make an appointment.
