Benefits of Single Tooth Anesthesia

The primary fear that people have of going to the dentist is a fear of feeling pain.

They are afraid of the pain that might come from the procedure, or they are afraid of the pain that might come from the injection that is used to deliver anesthesia. The single tooth anesthesia system, also known as STA, is a specialized device that uses a computer to monitor the fluid pressure of the anesthetic that is administered during a dental procedure.

Interestingly, some people who are experiencing tooth pain would prefer to continue battling with that pain as opposed to getting much-needed care.

The single tooth anesthesia system has helped many such individuals overcome their fear of the dentist. At Blue Turtle Dental, we utilize single tooth anesthesia to maximize patient comfort and safety and turn your dental checkup & treatments into a relaxing experience.

What is the Single Tooth Anesthesia System?

The single tooth anesthesia system minimizes the delivery of anesthesia to a fluid pressure that is equal to what the device senses in a person’s tooth.

One of the special features of this device is its ability to direct anesthesia only towards the tooth that is being worked on.

This minimizes the numbing effect that a person will often feel in their mouth, tongue, and face with traditional anesthesia shots. As a result, patients have a lot less discomfort during the procedure.

The Benefits of Single Tooth Anesthesia

There are a lot of ways in which this system is superior to the traditional system used to administer anesthesia.

Some of these benefits include:

• Innovation. This is the first time in human history that a doctor can single out a tooth to be numbed.

• Safety. Since the entire procedure is being controlled by a patented computer system, the anesthesia is being delivered in a painless way but also in a dose that is safe for the patient. Using this system, the patient does not run the risk of receiving too much anesthetic.

• Efficiency. With conventional methods, a dentist is blindly delivering anesthesia in the general area of treatment with a syringe. However, the STA system eliminates any guessing. It gives the dentist real-time visual and audio feedback. Since the anesthesia is being delivered in an effective way, the effects are felt faster and last longer.

• Reduces Pain. For most patients, this is the most important facet of the STA system. It removes the discomfort out of the anesthesia delivery system. It also protects the surrounding areas of the mouth, such as the tongue and lip from damage.

The STA system is revolutionizing the way that dentists and orthodontists approach their craft.

Patients feel more comfortable visiting the dentist because they know it will be a virtually pain-free visit.

They also know that once the visit is done, they will be able to walk out of the office and return to their normal activities without excessive numbing.
