THE WAND

"I hate shots!"

"I never get numb!"

These are two comments we hear over and over and so we decided to solve both of these problems. They are actually separate problems with different solutions.

The first problem is how to give injections comfortably. We use a computer assisted technique called "The Wand" which not only regulates the comfort of the injection, but also controls the operator, "dentist or hygienist", to insure that the positive result is duplicated every time. Ask about "The Wand" at your next appointment.

The second problem is not all people react the same way to the anesthetic solution. The most popular anesthetic, lidocaine, is only effective on about 85% of the population. We use an anesthetic called articaine which is effective on 98% of the population. If you are one of the unfortunate people that has not responded well to local anesthetics ask if articaine is for you.
