DentalVibe Injection Comfort System

A trip to the dentist can be anxiety-provoking. Sometimes, no matter how diligent you are with your oral health at home, you may put off getting regular dental cleanings due to the apprehension that there may be pain or discomfort involved. Delaying a dental check-up can be quite detrimental to your overall health and we hope to relieve you of any stress that may be caused when anticipating a visit to the dentist. The experienced dentist, Dr. Suzanne Haeri in Los Angeles, CA uses the DentalVibe Injection Comfort System in the hopes of making your trip to the dentist as painless and comfortable as possible.

What is the DentalVibe Injection Comfort System?

When a shot is necessary during your visit to the dentist, there is usually pain or pinching before your mouth goes numb and you stop feeling the painful sensation. Not with DentalVibe. DentalVibe is a revolutionary system that takes the uncomfortable sensations out of getting shots.

It is an FDA-approved, hand-held device that works by introducing soothing, pulsing vibrations by way of micro-oscillations to the point of injection. This amazing device uses the 'gate control' theory of pain. The sensations provided by DentalVibe act as a gate to pain signals and do not let them pass through. The result is a pain-free injection.

How Does it Work?

When Dr. Suzanne Haeri in Los Angeles, CA uses the DentalVibe Injection Comfort System at the site of the injection, the brain registers the soothing vibration of the DentalVibe before it can register any pain from the shot. Since the vibrations have already been registered by the brain, the neural pain gate is closed and pain signals cannot get through. The pain signals are blocked by the sensations provided by the DentalVibe system, essentially saying to the pain signals "you shall not pass!"

Also, the sound emanating from the device acts as an additional distraction. After the injection, the gentle vibrations of the DentalVibe system will also assist with the goal of the injected solution by helping to massage the area and distribute the anaesthesia or other painkillers more rapidly. This system is incredibly helpful for children and adults with a fear of needles.
