Dentistry has always led in the field of anesthesia and pain control. In 1846, Dr. William Morton was the first doctor ever to extract a tooth using “ether” as a general anesthetic. Since then, pain control has come a long way. Before this new method of general anesthesia existed, people would routinely undergo surgery until they lost consciousness from the pain. Happily, today's methods of anesthesia are very effective. So you can thank dentists and dentistry for making all modern surgery possible.
Recently new dental research has focused on giving local anesthetics without needles. These systems aren’t in widespread use yet, but they are promising. One system consists of a patch applied to the gum. The patch contains a local anesthetic. The drug enters the skin directly. After the patch is removed, a dentist can give a virtually painless injection at that spot or perform certain dental procedures without having to give an injection. This can be useful for a small filling or a deep cleaning of the gums.
Another brand new method for delivering pain control is known as "the wand." It uses a computer-controlled delivery system. The source of most discomfort from local anesthesia injections is not the needle. It is the flow of the anesthetic into the tissues of the mouth. The wand controls the flow. This allows the correct amount of anesthetic to be delivered at a painless rate.
Besides local anesthesia, various new medicines have recently been developed used to reduce anxiety. These medicines are useful for people who are fearful or anxious. Sedative drugs may reduce anxiety and fear so that people can have dental treatment. They also can cause short-term memory loss, so people don't remember most of the procedure. Sedatives come in various forms. Nitrous oxide is an odorless gas (commonly called "laughing gas"). Some sedatives may come in pill or liquid form. Others are intravenous medicines, meaning they are injected into a vein.
One other great advancement in pain-free dentistry is the invention of Power Swabs! Power Swabs is the only teeth whitening system capable of delivering true tooth whitening and cleaning for all dental surfaces (yes even caps, crowns, veneers and dental bonding) with absolutely no associated teeth sensitivity or pain. This is a significant advancement in dental care and oral health, considering that prior to the invention of Power Swabs, most people could not whiten their teeth because it involved too much pain.
Power Swabs is designed to be the world’s most advanced teeth whitening system. Even though it contains whitening agents similar to whitener strips, white strips and whitening trays, only Power Swabs clean teeth and remove the plaque using swabs that are rubbed again the enamel to keep your white smile as beautiful and clean as possible. And because only Power Swabs contain a natural tooth detergent derived from coconut oil and other ingredients that and hydrate teeth enamel, they also have the advantage of working without tooth sensitivity. Considering how many people want to whiten their teeth without pain or sensitivity, Power Swabs may be one of dentistry’s great new pain-free achievements.
