The Wand Anesthesia

If you are fearful of injections you will be happy to hear that Bloor Street Dental utilizes the Single Tooth Anesthesia System® (The Wand), that dramatically reduces the pain of injections in the sensitive areas of the mouth. This system allows for a more predictable, comfortable injection of anesthetic and significantly reduces injection pain.

Doctors have long known that the main cause of discomfort or pain during an injection is the flow of the anesthetic into your tissues. The STA® System is a controlled anesthesia system that allows Dr. Ariana precise control over the location and amount of anesthesia that is administered. This means that the injection is guaranteed to be slow and steady and therefore 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! Most often, the sting was caused because the anesthetic was fired in too quickly. Using the "magic pen" Dr. Ariana can avoid this by controlling the injection with the Wand. This can be very reassuring for people with previous bad experiences.

If you have any questions about the Wand, please feel free to speak with Dr. Ariana or one of our Bloor Street Dental team members here in Mississauga today.
