One of the most common reasons patients feel apprehensive about having dental treatment is a fear of needles. When you’re faced with having treatment that requires an injection of anaesthetic, for example, this can cause anxiety. At Liverpool Dental Spa, we do everything we can to make nervous patients feel as comfortable as possible, and we’re proud to offer innovative technology like The Wand. If you dread going to the dentist because you have a phobia of needles, we can help!
What is The Wand?
The Wand is a device, which is designed to ensure that injections are painless. Many people are scared of having injections because they’ve had a bad experience in the past. In many cases, this relates to painful injections, which were caused by fluid flowing into the body too quickly. With The Wand, we can give injections without any risk of discomfort.
The Wand may look like your average pen, but it’s a high-tech piece of kit. The needle, which is held in a case, is attached to a small computer. This computer controls the speed of the flow of fluid. This means that it’s impossible for the fluid to be injected too quickly, or for there to be a sudden surge of liquid.
The Wand doesn’t just eliminate pain. It also looks completely harmless.
Who can benefit from The Wand?
The Wand is an ideal solution for nervous adults, as well as children. Some people become very anxious even when they set eyes on a needle, and The Wand is a much less threatening prospect. You can’t actually see the needle, and there’s no chance of the injection being painful.
If you’re a nervous patient, and you’d like to find out more about The Wand or other techniques, such as sedation, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly team is ready and waiting to help!
