We are interested in "painless anesthesia" and that is why Dr. Goodkind has been using the  WAND since 1998 for comfortable numbing of teeth.

Dr. Goodkind uses The WAND, a revolutionary computer controlled dental injection system which allows state-of-the-art dentistry to be delivered virtually pain-free. With the WAND, anesthetic can be administered to even normally painful locations - such as the roof of your mouth - with ease and comfort.

The WAND anesthetic delivery system delivers patient pleasing injections every time, even to children.

With the WAND, in a lot of cases, we are able to offer numbness to the teeth without having the annoying numbness to the lip so common with upper front Novocain.  We are also able to do this without the sensitivity of the lips for days afterward that was common with traditional Novocain injections.

 Site specific techniques effectively anesthetize only the teeth necessary and often with the use of less anesthetic. 

The WAND is also helpful in alleviating the anxiety of seeing the old style syringe and is much less intimidating for the children we treat.
