Pain free numbing without the “shot”

At Santa Rosa Pediatric Dentistry, we are the first office in Santa Rosa and Sonoma County to offer the Soan Electronic Dental Anesthesia Pen to deliver local anesthesia to most of our patients. Instead of the traditional dental “shot” our patients and their parents are accustomed to, the Soan Dental Anesthesia Pen allows a tooth to become numb in a painless manner. The pen uses a needle that is extremely small and painless for most patients. Local anesthetic is delivered electronically at such a slow rate, patients do not realize they are experiencing an injection or getting numb.  

Finally, another great feature of this pen is: no more numb lips, cheeks, or tongues. The pen only makes the teeth we are working on numb (nothing else!) Patients can talk normally and eat immediately after their dental treatment. There is no more drooling, discomfort, or sadness about a numb face! We are incredibly excited to use this pen every day. It allows us to deliver effective and compassionate local anesthetic and has changed dental treatment completely for our needle phobic and young patients.
