Many of us get nervous when visiting a dentist. Dental problems are usually painful and to prevent all these, it is important to visit a dentist. Some skilled professionals offer treatment using advanced technology. With the change in almost all aspects of treatment, dentistry also took a new shape with the use of advanced methods of treatment and tools. This has helped many patients in minimizing pain and dealing with the trauma.
Herein are some methods adopted by dentists today to enhance pain free dentistry:
The Wand
This can be considered as the computer controlled electric injection that is used for dripping the anesthesia only on the teeth that need the treatment. An interesting feature of this technique is that despite being working as an injection, it is not injected on the affected tooth. The numbing lotion is dropped on the teeth and wears off in less time than compared to general anesthesia.
Local Anesthetic
The process involves the application of numbing cream over the gums, which needs to be injected for the surgery. While applying anesthesia, it is imperative to measure the temperature of the body so that there are no side effects. As it is a complicated process, it should be carried out in the supervision of an expert dentist so that only required area can be numbed.
Oral Sedation
In simple words, it may be defined as the process of making the patient unconscious about the things taking place around him. The process mainly involves the use of an anti-anxiety drug which is given to the patient almost an hour before the treatment. The intake of this drug by the patient offers him mental relaxation, and he does not get affected by the treatment. One thing which, however, used to be kept in concern while using this procedure that a patient should be escorted by someone for going to the home after treatment.
