Dental anxiety is very common and one of the main causes is a fear of needles and injections. In order to combat this problem and make dental treatment less daunting, we offer The Wand, a painless injection system.
What is The Wand?
The Wand is a painless injection treatment, which is suitable for children and adults. The Wand is a device, which looks very similar to a pen, which is attached to a small computer, which controls the flow of the fluid inside the needle.
Often, injections are painful because the needle is pushed too quickly or there is a sudden burst of fluid. With The Wand, the speed of the flow is controlled by the computer, so there is no risk of it being delivered too fast, making for a much more comfortable experience.
What are the benefits of The Wand?
For many people the mere sight of a needle is enough to make them feel nervous and The Wand looks much less intimidating than a normal injection. Although a needle is still used, it is hidden and the device just looks like any old normal pen. The Wand also eliminates the risk of a painful injection because the process of injecting the patient is controlled entirely by the computer.
At Liverpool Dental Spa, we understand that having dental treatment makes many patients scared and anxious and we have many years of experience in treating nervous patients. In addition to The Wand, we also offer sedation to make treatment more comfortable and reduce anxiety in the lead-up to treatment, as well as during the procedure.
