Single Tooth Anaesthesia

Injection Wand Now Available

Single Tooth Anesthesia (or Injection Wand) is a computer-controlled dental injection that significantly reduces the discomfort many patients experience when requiring treatment.

It’s the perfect tool for when patients feel anxious about treatment. Single Tooth Anesthesia is specifically designed for minimal discomfort and is ideal for patients of different ages. It’s even suitable for kids!

Before administering the injection, your dentist, hygienist, or oral health therapist will apply a topical numbing agent to ensure you’re comfortable. The use of a smaller needle minimises discomfort despite delivering the same amount of anaesthetic as a standard injection.

We asked Dr Omana Akhi (B.D.S) to answer some of the more common questions patients typically ask about Single Tooth Anaesthesia.

What is an Injection Wand?

The Injection Wand is a computer-controlled local anaesthetic system. It works by slowly releasing fluid into the tissue, using the finest needle available to minimise and alleviate discomfort during specific procedures.

Benefits of single tooth anaesthesia

Even for minor procedures, the Injection Wand can be an enormous comfort. Using an Injection Wand to administer this kind of anesthesia allows dentists to deliver a slow-release injection, hence why it is considered pain-free.

Is it suitable to use on kids?

Yes, Single Tooth Anesthesia is suitable for everyone, including kids. You can discuss this with your clinician beforehand, so they fully understand your child’s medical background.
