Instead\nof an injection we now use a wand. The wand is an evolution of the syringe,\nallowing for greater accuracy and ease of use. The wand is similar to a pen and\ncan be used to apply a small amount of anaesthesia to a localised area. Our\ndentists are able to work in a much more relaxed manner as they can use the\nwand in a refined way, allowing for precision during treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some patients, <a>when <\/a>they\nhave received an injection from the wand, are not aware that it has occurred,\ncommenting \u201cHas it happened yet?\u201d. You can imagine the impact this has on\nnervous patients, especially if they are frightened of needles. This approach\nreduces anxiety and allows for greater relaxation. In addition, for children it\nremoves any possibility of having a difficult experience. Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecraft.co.uk\/\">dentist in Stevenage<\/a> is now\neven more child friendly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No more numb mouth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the precision of application, only the area that is being worked on will be numbed. If you have had injections previously, part of the difficulty of receiving treatment is the numb mouth and tongue afterwards. This numbing can make eating difficult and patients sometimes need to take time of from work. Equally, if a child has an injection that leads to this numbing, the whole process can feel more invasive and traumatic. Thanks to the localised application, any patient, including your child will leave their <strong>dentist in Stevenage<\/strong>, with full feeling in their mouth, lips and tongue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the latest technologies and techniques that can improve patient experience is at the heart of our practice at <strong>Smilecraft<\/strong>, bringing innovation to preventative dentistry through to restoration of your smile. Although our dentists may not be wearing pointy hats and long grey coats, they are nonetheless wielding a wand, whilst looking after you and your family\u2019s oral wellbeing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking your children to the dentist for regular hygiene appointments creates a lifelong positive relationship between them and their dental health.
