If you've put off going to the dentist for a couple of years, you'll find it interesting to see the advances that have been made in the field of dentistry.
The newest "big thing" for some dentists is the FDA cleared Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) which is much better than in the past, when your whole face would be numb for almost the rest of the day after a visit to the dentist. After a dentist visit, you couldn't stop off for a cup of java because you couldn't drink without spilling and forget about dining out because you'd end up chewing on your cheek instead.
Single Tooth Anesthesia involves only the tooth needing the repair, where the anesthesia is very localized and fast acting, with minimal anesthesia being used to keep the area pain-free.
After the dentist administers the anesthesia, it wears off within sixty minutes. Given that only one tooth gets anesthetized, you don't have numbing and tingling in your face or fattened lips, as well as a tendency to bite your cheek when the anesthesia is no more.
So go in and have your teeth checked by a dentist or at the very least, try to locate a nearby dentist who uses Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA).
When you choose to make a dentist appointment, you'll walk away with two pluses: your teeth will be corrected and you'll get to try this new system and thus, have something new to share with your friends.

Gon't be afraid of going to the dentist anymore
Going to the dentist used to be excruciating for many people; people did what they could to avoid going to the dentist until they were driven there by pain they could no longer stand.
To fix a tooth, a dentist had to give you several uncomfortable injections with an enormous needle to numb the mouth, resulting in a tingling sensation along with drooling -- this was just part of the process.
Well, this is no longer the case, because some dentists now have an FDA-approved system called Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA). At the start, this new anesthetic system sends a tiny amount of anesthesia only to the tooth that the dentist needs to work on, and then continues administering it throughout the entire time the tooth is being worked on.
It takes but a few minutes to work, and wears off before you know it; no embarrassing drool, nor do you wind up biting the inside of your cheek.
This system costs a lot, but as a patient, you won't see it. On the other hand the dentist has to make a hefty investment to first buy the STA system, so few have it. It is a good idea to check with the dentist in your area to see if the Single Tooth Anesthesia System is available; however if it isn't available, then it is alright to find a dentist who does offer this, since this may suggest that the dentist in your area doesn't have recent dental equipment or up-to-date dental methods.
So go ahead and have the dentist check your teeth and stop procrastinating; you will be one of the first people on the earth to use this innovative procedure, and let it be a conversational piece among your friends. Before you speak about Single Tooth Anesthesia with them, I guarantee, just mentioning a dentist appointment will have them turning their faces away, and getting ready to begin talking about horrible stories, but you can tell them you honestly didn't feel anything bad when your root canal or dental implant was done.

Forget a numb mouth after a dentist visit with STA
STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia)Introducing a new the FDA-cleared computerized anesthesia system called STA or Single Tooth Anesthesia.
In order to ensure there is no pain from the injections or the work your dentist is doing, the STA system releases a specific amount of anesthesia throughout your dental procedure. Just the location where work is to be done is numbed.
The needle used for STA does not look like a typical syringe. The needle looks like a wand or pen with a tiny needle on the end and, being much smaller than the traditional dental needles, it does not cause the numbness and drooling that you have come to expect after having dental work done.
How this helps you: You can let your dentist work on your mouth without numbing your whole face, and you don't have to be nervous about waiting a long time before you can talk or have a cup of coffee without drooling, or having a large lip or a twisted face.
In the past, many people suffered from bad experiences with dental injections; today, the STA system gets rid of the 'bee sting' effect with computer controlled, automatically released anesthesia. No awful dental syringe is used and the doses of anesthesia are delivered under your threshold of pain.
The gums are sprayed lightly to make them numb and then a computerized system divides anesthesia into tiny doses assuring you that pain won't be felt.
Our patients are saying:
"I have a fear of needles and visits to the dentist always terrified me - NO MORE!! This is the easiest, most pain free injection I have ever experienced!"
"It's the best shot I ever had!"
"This new computerized anesthesia system is wonderful! There was no syringe, no pain and no sting from the injection, it is absolutely fantastic!"
"No more numb face for hours after a dental appointment"
"I can't wait to bring my young son in, to show him that visiting the dentist is FUN!"
