The Compudent System, Featuring The Wand(R)

The Compudent system, featuring The Wand® is a computer-controlled anesthetic delivery system that has radically reduced the discomfort associated with numbing your teeth before treatment. It is much easier for your dentist to handle than a needle, and it is much easier on your mouth. The microprocessor that controls it allows it to deliver anesthetic with unparalleled precision because the flow rate is controlled by the computer, not by a human thumb. This ensures that the exact amount of anesthetic you need is delivered, and no more.

We find that the Compudent Wand® is easier for us to use is because it is much easier on our hands. It is a very ergonomic piece of equipment that does not produce muscle fatigue. It also feels much better for you, the patient, because you barely feel the force of the anesthetic delivery. It can deliver a dose anywhere in your mouth with hardly any pressure at all.

If you are one of those people who have always been afraid of needles, then the Compudent system is perfect for you. Needles may hurt you, or you may simply be afraid of what looks like the biggest needle you have ever seen as the dentist reaches for your mouth! To be honest, dental needles themselves are not what cause pain. It is the pressure of the medication forced into the tissue by pressure from the thumb. With the Compudent Wand®, however, this problem is overcome by three variable flow rates delivered at three different speeds, including ControlFlo and RapidFlo. This is painless compared to a needle.

Many other injections can also be more accurately delivered using The Wand®. The TurboFLo injection rate takes the same amount of time as standard needles, but with no pain. This is because when the flow begins; the microprocessor automatically adjusts it to produce an optimal rate. The anesthetic is delivered by the Compudent system in the form of a small drip at first. Then, the computer automatically produces an optimum speed that is most suitable for you.

The benefits to you are obvious. Due to its precision, the Compudent Wand® will get the job done with a smaller dose of anesthetic. With needles, you actually get too much anesthetic injected into your mouth due to the less accurate measurements and speed of manual delivery. Second, due to the fact that the anesthetic flows in specific amounts to specific areas, it does not create the same widespread numbing produced by typical injections.

By eliminating pain and anxiety, The Compudent System enables people to overcome of their fear of needle and seek out dental treatment without procrastination.
