It sounds a bit like magic and even we’re starting to think it is! And its arrival will be welcome news to the many people around the UK who allow their dental anxiety to keep them from receiving the dental attention they need. From a fear of injections to panic at the sound of a drill, dental anxiety is a real problem that needs addressing. So let’s talk about the Wand.
This is a pain-free injection device which has been tailored to stop the surge of injected fluid that actually causes pain for many people. The benefits of the Wand continue long after the initial injection as the device is able to decrease numbness felt in the lips, tongue, cheek and face following its application. The Wand works by slowing the flow of fluid used in an injection. As a result, patients do not feel the nip or sting commonly associated with the needle as it literally takes the pain away.
Dental phobia is one of the most overlooked phobias, affecting one in four adults and a number of children. Fears associated with the dentist are divided into two groups:
- Dental Anxiety: A mild fear of the dentist
- Dental Phobia: More extreme sense of dread regarding the thought of visiting a dentist.
While the Wand works to address one type of dental fear, the fear of injections, at Liverpool Implant & Aesthetic Dental Spa we know that dental phobias and anxieties can extend beyond this and influence a patient’s fear even further. If you disclose your anxieties and phobias to us, we will work with you to clear away any doubts or stress you are feeling.
We understand that dental anxiety can be so debilitating and lead many people to shun dental procedures. If you fit into this category get in touch with us today. Do not allow your anxiety to force you into compromising your dental health. Contact Liverpool Dental Spa today to make that first step.
