The Wand
The Wand is a dental injection that is controlled by a computer for precision. An anesthetic is administered in a controlled amount and also in a slow manner so the method is considered comfortable. We call it the wand to comfort people that may have a phobia of needles so the dentistry industry came up with the name “the Magic Wand”.
The actual device looks like a miniature computer tower. The anesthetic is stored in a little tube that is connected to the top of the tower.
Here is an image of one, It looks like one of those harmless robots from Star Wars doesn’t it?
This little machine was designed to make dental injections as painless as possible. The wand itself looks like a ball-point pen. The wand itself has a retractable needle for safety. Modern computer technology lets the dentist know through alerts that the needle has been inserted properly and safely. Watch this video on a demonstration of the wand’s usage.
