The British Dental Health Foundation has to announced The Wand has been granted accreditation by its independent board of dental experts.

The Wand Single Tooth Anaesthesia (STA) System is the first computer-controlled local dental anaesthetic machine where just one injection at a single tooth ensures single-session injection precision.

The benefit of The Wand is a pain-free visit to the dental clinic for patients, and Brian Jackson from Dental Practice Systems, sole distributors of The Wand in the UK, thinks this feature is necessary for thousands of patients unwilling to head to the dentist.

Brian said “The Adult Dental Health Survey identified one in three patients suffer from moderate dental anxiety and roughly one in eight suffer from extreme dental anxiety. However there are many more who have not come forward, so the problem is under-reported.

“We now know The Wand’s claims to offer patients pain-free injections can be substantiated. We hope practices that specialise in treating nervous patients will utilise The Wand to offer a more comfortable experience.”

Director of operations Sharon Broom added: “We are delighted to add our seal of approval to The Wand.
