One thing we really pride ourselves on at Wayside Dental Practice in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, is our total commitment to providing our patients with the latest and most comfortable dental care technologies. One such innovation (well, we’ve been using it successfully for over 20 years!) that has revolutionised the way we administer anaesthesia is The Wand. This state-of-the-art device offers pain-free injections for dental anaesthesia, making dental visits less daunting for both children and adults.
The Wand is a computer-assisted anaesthesia system that delivers a steady, controlled flow of anaesthetic to a targeted area in your mouth. Unlike traditional syringes, The Wand uses a pen-like handpiece that’s connected to a computer. This computer controls the pressure and volume of the anaesthetic, ensuring a slow and comfortable injection. The precise delivery reduces the discomfort often associated with dental injections, providing a virtually pain-free experience.
The Wand is particularly popular with children and adults due to its gentle and non-threatening nature. For children, the absence of a traditional syringe helps alleviate the fear and anxiety that often accompany dental visits. Adults, especially those with dental phobias or past traumatic experiences, find The Wand to be a much more pleasant alternative to traditional injections.
The Wand can be used for a wide range of dental treatments, including:
Its versatility and effectiveness make it an invaluable tool in providing comprehensive and comfortable dental care.
Yes, The Wand is designed to provide a pain-free injection experience by delivering anaesthetic at a slow and controlled rate, minimising discomfort.

Absolutely. The Wand is safe for children and is particularly beneficial for those who are anxious about needles.
