Taking the Pain Out of Injections with the Incredible WAND for Patients in Liverpool

Friday, July 6th, 2012

Many people can be very daunted or scared of the very idea of a trip to the dentist. Although local anaesthetic will always be used during any procedure that would cause pain, the irony is that anaesthetic is usually administered through an injection, which can seem just as frightening as the operation itself. This can lead people to avoid the dentist, and thus not receive the essential treatment they need, which can only lead to further complications. There seems to be no escaping the fact that the initial injection is always going to be a painful and thus frightening experience – but this need not be the case at Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Spa, thanks to an innovative new device called The Wand.

The advantages of the ‘magic’ Wand

The Wand is an alternative to traditional syringes, and works by controlling the rate of injection of anaesthetic to ensure reduced pain. The most common cause of pain from dental injections for patients in Liverpool is simply that the anaesthetic is injected into the mouth too quickly. The Wand works to regulate this flow of anaesthetic as it is injected, thus ensuring a steady process that will not cause any unnecessary stinging pain, even in more difficult-to-reach areas of the mouth. In addition, the Wand decreases the amount of numbness on the injected area, which can sometimes continue for hours after treatment when a traditional syringe is used.

The Wand does not look like a needle; in fact, its appearance is more like a simple pen, connected to a ‘tower’ device. This means that patients who are scared of the sight of a needle need not associate the Wand with pain before the injection has even taken place. In fact, research has proved that the Wand causes less anxiety than any other method of injection.

Patients in Liverpool with a Fear of Dental Injections will Find Much to Smile about with the WAND

Sunday, May 27th, 2012

Dental phobia affects many people within Liverpool and the UK, with numerous reasons responsible for the fear.

Dental phobia in many cases is caused by a fear of dental injections, with patients avoiding the dental practice due to the anxiety dental injections creates. Avoiding dental check-ups, especially when a person is suffering from great pain and discomfort will only allow a dental condition to develop, as dental problems only ever get worse.

That is why it is so important to receive the treatment you need, and with the help of Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic’s WAND treatment you soon will.

What is the WAND and how can it help patients with a fear of injections?

The WAND is the pain-free way to receive injections, which uses a tiny pen-like needle and a controlled flow of anaesthetic to numb a person’s teeth and gums in preparation for treatment.

The small needle is placed on the gums, while the CompuDent Microprocessor controls the speed of the fluid. It is the quick surge of liquid rather than the needle itself that causes pain in connection to injections, but with the WAND this sudden surge is slowed, which removes the cause of pain.

The WAND also decreases the uncomfortable feeling of numbness most patients experience after a dental injection.

Helping patients with their dental phobia

Liverpool Dental Implant and Aesthetic Dental Spa not only provide pain free dental injections we also provide sedation dentistry, which allows patients to relax during and after their treatment. Patients are completely conscious during treatment but have no anxiety, pain or fear in concern to their treatment.
