Local anaesthetic injection is the most fear-inducing part of dental treatment for some. It's substantially more comfortable with the help of a computerized pump that makes the injection extremely smooth, precise and gentle. The Wand machine is particularly helpful in sensitive areas, and allows several special techniques, including one that can can numb teeth without affecting the surrounding lips and tongue. |

The dental
"drill" isn't
going away anytime soon, but air abrasion technology offers a much more
pleasant alternative for many areas of decay. The device uses a stream
of air and fine particles to remove decay, in a sort of miniaturized
"sandblasting"
process. It's quiet, and relatively painless- many small cavities can
be
treated without anaesthetic. |

Laser Diagnosis of Decay Diagnostic laser technology penetrates the enamel surface and detects decay hidden beneath the surface. The machine dramatically increases our accuracy, helps distinguish between true decay and staining, and allows us to catch and repair small cavities before they become larger fillings. |

Nitrous Oxide isn't really new technology - Dentistry has used it for over a hundred years But it's finding increased usefulness in places like hospital delivery rooms. It's safe - a registered nurse can be trained to deliver it, and almost anyone can use it. It's relatively inexpensive, and it relaxes and controls anxiety remarkably well while leaving patients still awake. It's easily adjustable throughout an appointment, and does not leave patients feeling sedated afterward. The pain
suppression of nitrous
oxide is modest. It doesn't replace local anaesthesia in permanent
teeth.
However routine filling in baby teeth can almost always be done with
just
gas, in complete comfort. Treatment without needles is a big plus for
children. |
