\"smiling<\/a>What\u2019s the worst part about going to your dentist? If you answered, \u201cthe shot,\u201d then you\u2019re not alone. Many people delay or even neglect getting dental treatment because they hate getting that necessary shot of anesthesia that numbs them before the procedure. Well, thanks to modern science, you don\u2019t have to worry about that anymore. At your dentist in Mount Holly, we use a technology known as Single Tooth Anesthesia<\/a> (formerly called The Wand) to make dentistry as painless as possible. Would you like to learn more about this nifty gadget?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Painless Injections<\/h2>\n

The sting most people feel with traditional anesthesia shots doesn\u2019t come from the needle itself; it comes from the numbing drug as it moves into the tissue. The Wand uses a tiny needle to inject the anesthesia so slowly that you probably won\u2019t even know it\u2019s happening. The system\u2019s computer monitors how much of the drug you\u2019re receiving, and your dentist can control the delivery to make sure you stay comfortable.<\/p>\n

You can also rest assured that your dentist isn\u2019t likely to make any painful \u201coopses\u201d while they\u2019re administering the anesthesia. The Wand has a training mode that helps clinicians master the technology. Your team of dental care professionals in Mount Holly are already pros at using this innovative system!<\/p>\n

No Collateral Numbness<\/h2>\n

Most dentists employ a traditional method of numbing their patients; they use a few shots to numb the entire area around the tooth that is going to be worked on. While this is effective, it is uncomfortable. Not only do the shots cause pain, but they also numb a much larger area than necessary. The result can be loss of feeling in the tongue and cheek, along with slurred speech and a droopy face.<\/p>\n

STA is different. It delivers a computer-controlled amount of anesthesia to a very small area \u2014 just the tooth that is going to get worked on. There won\u2019t be any \u201ccollateral numbness.\u201d The system\u2019s computer also monitors the position of the needle so it stays in its proper place. Therefore, you\u2019ll be able to go back to work or school after your appointment without worrying that you\u2019ll drool all over the place or won\u2019t be able to communicate.<\/p>\n

Procedures That Involve the Wand<\/h2>\n

The Wand can be used in pretty much any procedure that requires anesthesia, whether the treatment is to benefit your oral health or it\u2019s just to make your smile look better. For example, it may be used when you\u2019re getting a filling or when your cosmetic dentist in Mount Holly is preparing your teeth to receive porcelain veneers. Usually, whether anesthesia will be used for a particular treatment is left to your dentist\u2019s professional judgement.<\/p>\n

Thanks to STA, there is no reason to fear your next dental appointment!<\/p>\n
