Could The Latest Advancements in Dentistry Translate Into Painless Dental Care?

Sept. 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Did you know that a recent national survey conducted by the ADA indicated the number one fear people have when visiting the dentist is the needle. In fact, the thought of a possible injection is so concerning that many people actually forgo minor dental procedures such as cavities that eventually become major problems resulting in root canals, crowns and even implants!

In a recent interview with Dr. Arnold Perman of 201 Dental Care we asked Why Is It That Conventional Needle Injections Hurt So Much? Dr. Perman explained "while most patients who have had a bad experience with needle injections attribute the pain to the needle piercing the skin this is not the case. The most common cause of a painful dental injection is  the anesthetic being released too quickly."

Fortunately for Dr. Perman's patients this is not the case. 201 Dental Care which is located in the Fort Lee, Edgewater, Englewood area does not use conventional syringe-injections . Dr. Perman has been using a system called The Wand for almost 2 decades and was one of the first dental care providers to offer the technology.

The Wand is a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system. It looks similar to a small computer tower that rests on the counter of each operatory. Dr. Perman explains "The Wand ensures a slow and predictable delivery of novocain to the patient ensuring a comfortable and painless experience every time!"
