Have you heard about the wand? A great alternative for those of you who have had a previous bad experience with an injection... The Wand is essentially a computer-controlled dental injection. The flow rate of the local anaesthetic is controlled by a computer. This means that the injection is guaranteed to be slow and steady and therefore more comfortable.... Most people who have had a bad experience with injections think that needles sting because the skin is pierced, but this is usually not so. Often, the sting was caused because the anaesthetic was fired in too quickly. Obviously, it is possible for the dentist to control the speed with a standard syringe, but the idea of the Wand is to take out the ‘human error’. This can be very reassuring for people with earlier bad experiences. When you’re next at Rockingham Dental Centre, ask to have a look at our Dental Wand, and if you're a little nervous around needles, we can arrange to use it for your visit.
