Painless Injections with The Wand in Central Liverpool

Saturday, July 5th, 2014

Often, patients come to us feeling nervous because they have a fear of injections and needles. With The Wand, we are able to deliver pain-free injections to make you feel more comfortable during treatment and more relaxed in the run-up to your appointment.

What is The Wand?

The Wand is a computerised device, which eliminates pain from injections. Many patients have a phobia of injections because they have caused them pain in the past; this is most commonly the result of fluid being injected too fast or with a sudden burst. With The Wand, the flow of fluid is controlled by a computer, meaning that there is absolutely no risk of the fluid flowing too quickly and therefore no risk of pain.

The Wand is suitable for patients of all ages and it can really help patients to feel less anxious when they have treatment. The Wand is a needle, but it is hidden from sight and all the patient can see is a pen-like device. The needle is attached to the computer.

We Know How To Look After And Treat Nervous Patients In Liverpool City Centre

Thursday, March 13th, 2014

At Liverpool Dental Spa we know that some of our patients feel very apprehensive before they have dental treatment and we always go the extra mile to help them to relax. We understand that dental anxiety and dental phobia are common issues and we offer a range of treatments and techniques, including sedation, to make the treatment process more manageable. Our aim is to help you to feel calm and confident and to ensure that you don’t feel any pain or anxiety during your treatment.

What is sedation and how could it help me?

Sedation is a very popular treatment for nervous patients; it involves using sedative medication to help patients to feel more relaxed and to prevent them from feeling pain during a dental procedure. Sedation is not the same as general anaesthetic or ‘being put to sleep’; rather than losing consciousness, you will simply feel a little drowsy and very relaxed. Under sedation, patients are able to talk to their dentist and hear them, but they will not feel any pain or have much recollection of what happened during treatment.

If you suffer from anxiety or you are very worried about having a specific procedure, you could benefit from sedation. Sedation enables you to have the treatment you need without feeling scared or nervous and it is also very helpful for those who need complex treatment and those with a sensitive gag reflex.

After treatment

After treatment it takes a little while for the effects of the sedative to wear off fully and we encourage our patients to come to their appointment with a friend or relative and to arrange a lift home. After sedation it is advisable to avoid drinking alcohol, exercising and operating machinery for at least 24 hours.

If you have been putting off dental treatment as a result of dental anxiety or dental phobia, we can help! Our friendly, experienced team can help you to overcome your fears and get the treatment you need in a comfortable and relaxing setting.
