Painless dental injections can help patients feel more comfortable during invasive dental procedures.
Most patients want their dental visits to be pain-free. However, for more invasive procedures like tooth extractions, a local anesthetic is injected to numb the area before dental treatment is performed. Local anesthetic is also used for some dental work done to repair decayed teeth.
Our dentists are trained to administer injections with minimal discomfort. Most children respond well to treatment without discomfort, and they can even watch the procedures and have a positive experience. At Smilepoint Dental, we love children. We will explain the procedures to your child using appropriate terms that are easy to understand.
Did you know that the main source of discomfort during an injection is not actually from the needle itself? The pain is caused by the pressure and volume of fluid being injected into the gums.
Our painless dental injections use advanced technology to deliver local anesthesia in a way that significantly reduces the pain and discomfort of injections in the mouth. We use a computerized system that controls the flow rate and pressure of the anesthetic, which allows us to deliver it more gently and gradually.
This technique is especially popular with adults with dental phobia or anxiety and young children.
