When you have an acute fear regarding going to the dentist, there’s nothing cute about the potential damage your smile will succumb to over time. You can brush and floss every day, and use all of the best products promising a variety of dental miracles. But the fact is, unless your dental hygienist has the opportunity to scrape your gumline free of the hardened plaque (tartar) buildup that settles under the gum tissues, you could end up with tooth loss and other cosmetic problems. Fortunately, there are several types of pain management/relief in the dental industry, starting with topical anesthetics and continuing on with technologically advanced instruments which dentists like Dr. Brent Engelberg in Arlington Heights happily offer.
The Wand
The Wand® STA is a method of delivering anesthesia via a carefully measured and calibrated computer system. The amount of pain, anxiety, and stress which is reduced as a result of this method has been changing the lives of extremely nervous patients for years. Not only do many patients express that The Wand® STA provides them with painless injections, but there is no worry about hours of numbness in the cheeks, lips, or tongue following dental work. The injection with this system is pin-pointed so that only the exact amount of anesthetic necessary is put into your mouth.
DentalVibe® Arrives
DentalVibe® is an out-of-the-box invention created to help relax anxious patients and reduce all sensations felt during dental work. The brain is a very complicated organ, and our minds can only process so many sensations at a time. The inventors of DentalVibe® figured out the exact vibrational wavelengths which would confuse the average brain into focusing on that sensation and not feeling any discomfort during an injection to anesthetize a site for a dental procedure. While anxious patients do need to trust their dentists with a theory such as this, the fact is that patient after patient report that it truly does work. Between the trifecta of topical anesthetics, The Wand® STA, and DentalVibe®, when you visit a dentist like Dr. Engelberg, no matter how anxious you are, you truly have nothing to worry about.
