Anesthesia
Can There Really Be a Painless Injection System? Absolutely!
When you require any kind of dental anesthesia, you may picture having a syringe placed into your mouth. However, that is not what we use to deliver anesthetic at Shawnee Dental. Instead, we choose The Wand®. The Wand® painlessly injects the right amount of anesthesia to the spot where you need it. It is so easy to use and fast that many of our patients report that they did not even realize they got an injection!
Call Shawnee Dental at (405) 275-4581 and let us know that you want to learn more about our pain-reducing dentistry options, including The Wand®.

Local Anesthetics Provide Topical Relief
In most cases, our dentists will first apply a topical gel such as Oraqix to any sensitive area in your mouth before we start work. Local anesthesia blocks the pain receptors and allows us to complete any dental procedures. All you have to do is lie back in your chair, watch our televisions on the ceiling, and relax.
Laughing Gas Actually Does Help With Smiles!
Have you ever heard of nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas? This is a clear gas that is inhaled through a special mask. Nitrous oxide probably will not make you laugh, but it will calm you during dental appointments and processes. One of the best benefits of nitrous gas is that it offers very fast delivery, and it works quickly. When you stop inhaling the nitrous oxide, it leaves your body completely in little time.
Kids who require any kind of dental work or who are unable to calm down at the dentist because of agitation or fears also appreciate the attributes of nitrous oxide.
Worry-free dentistry could be the answer to your dental anxieties! Find out more by calling Shawnee Dental in Shawnee, OK, at (405) 275-4581. We are happy to work with you to overcome any barriers to getting proper dental treatment!
