Seattle Family Dentistry
Many kids are scared of spending time in the dentist's chair. They find the prick of that needle full of anesthesia upsetting. And the process of having a cavity filled presents a level of discomfort they may be unwilling to put up with.
New developments in Seattle family dentistry offer solutions designed to comfort even the most skittish kids. One new device is called the Wand, and it changes the way patients are anesthetized. Much of the pain that kids feel when anesthesia is administered via a needle comes from the sudden pressure of the anesthesia as it's released. The Wand eliminates that sudden pressure by using a computer to slowly release the anesthesia. As the pressure is removed, so is the pain.
Dentists at the Forefront of Seattle Family Dentistry
Seattle family dentistry offers another new piece of equipment, one that fills shallow cavities more quickly than was previously possible and eliminates the need for anesthesia completely. Called the air abrasion system, this device means huge time savings for both dentists and patients. This is good news for kids with cavities, as it means less time spent in the dentist's chair.
Lance Timmerman DMD PS is a Seattle dentist committed to remaining at the forefront of new developments in family dentistry. Dr. Timmerman offers the Wand and air abrasion to his clients, in addition to a host of other new technologies designed to make visits as convenient as possible. If you're looking for a family dentist, be sure to pick one who has the technology to make your kids' visits to the dentist a pleasure instead of a pain.
