Seattle Dental Care
It's the moment you dread most when it comes to dental care. You're sitting in the dentist's chair, waiting to be anesthetized in preparation for dental work. Your Seattle dentist approaches holding the needle that bears the anesthesia. The needle is injected into your mouth, and there is a moment of discomfort--pain, even--as the anesthesia is abruptly released into your bloodstream.
Seattle dental care is always evolving, and new developments have introduced a technology designed to make anesthesia injections a breeze for even the most squeamish. The pain that you feel from an injection comes from the pressure of the anesthesia as it's forced out of the syringe and against your tissue all at once. A device called the Wand eliminates that pain by governing the release of the anesthesia so that it's transferred in a slow, gradual way.
Seattle Dental Care Providers Using the Wand
Under the Wand, the force with which your anesthesia is dispensed is monitored by a computer. Because of the slowed release rate, it takes a bit longer to become numb when using the Wand. But if you've ever cowered with fear at the thought of being pricked by a dentist's needle, you'll no doubt pick this method over any other.
The Wand isn't offered by all dental care providers. Seattle-based Lance Timmerman DMD PS is a dentist who aims to offer his patients the very best in technology, and he uses the Wand to eliminate discomfort for his clients. Consider the technology offered when evaluating Seattle dentists, and be sure to choose one with the equipment to make your visits pleasant and pain-free.
