It’s no surprise that dental visits for your children can sound like their worst nightmare. From what they see on TV, the internet, or even overhear from friends and family, it makes sense when they believe needles and drilling are all there is to a typical dental appointment. This fear, which leads to anxiety, can linger well into adulthood. At Country Dental in Fergus, our core value is to create a positive, stress-free environment for young patients. Comprised of dental specialists with young children of our own, we have now invested in SOLEA laser dentistry, a revolutionary and highly effective technology designed to make your child’s dental visits gentle, much shorter, and pain-free!
With our SOLEA laser treatment, children will now receive the care they no longer need to be afraid of. We have taken away the requirement for needles and the eerie sounds of drilling. So, to parents in our Fergus community, you now have access to one of the most impactful advanced tools in modern dentistry.
Why Kids Often Fear the Dentist
Being a patient–centric dental clinic, it’s not all about the study of dentistry, but also about the heavy consideration of our patients’ thoughts and feelings during ongoing treatment. Where children are concerned, they are sensitive to the sights, sounds, and sensations of your average day-to-day dental treatments. The triggers usually found in children are:
- Needles: Injections for anaesthesia are a major cause of fear-induced anxiety.
- Drills: The loud noises and vibrations often cause stress and apprehensiveness.
- Discomfort: Lingering numbness can be confusing and unpleasant for kids, which can at times lead to paranoia.
The fact of the matter is that these early negative experiences can cause children to have a bad response to their upcoming dental visit, sometimes carrying those anxieties all the way through adulthood. That’s why many parents are now seeking new alternatives for anxiety-free dental visits for their children. As of right now, SOLEA laser dentistry is the answer.
What is SOLEA Laser Dentistry?
We have spoken enough about it now, but it’s time to get to the nitty-gritty. What is SOLEA laser dentistry? Well, it’s an FDA-approved dental technology that uses a unique wavelength of light to perform many common dental procedures typically done by traditional invasive methods. Opposing the reliance on drills and needles, SOLEA works quietly and in a much shorter timeframe, often eliminating the need for anaesthesia.
With the new advanced treatment method, parents can now feel confident knowing that their child is in safe, painless, and capable hands at their dentist. It doesn’t stop there; it can also be used for a variety of treatments, including cavity preparation and filling, gum reshaping and crown lengthening, and even more advanced procedures, all without the intimidating aspects of traditional dentistry.
Key Benefits of SOLEA for Children
No Drills, No Needles, No Numbness
One of the most positive impacts of SOLEA is that it eliminates the need for needles in the majority of cases. Your child no longer must sit through injections, and because there’s no numbing required, they can go back to school or play right after treatment.
Faster, Quieter, Less Intimidating
The quiet and vibration-free experience means your child can stay calm and relaxed throughout their visit. Treatments are also much quicker; therefore, kids will spend less time in the dental chair.
Reduced Healing Time
SOLEA, combined with a professional hand, works with the upmost precision, minimizing damage to the surrounding tissue. This results in far less discomfort post – treatment and promotes a rapid recovery for your child.
Positive Dental Associations
By making the dentist a comfortable experience, SOLEA can help your children build positive feelings toward dental care. Instead of fear and anxiety, children associate their visits with ease and comfort.
Building Lifelong Positive Dental Habits
A stress-free visit today can have a powerful impact on your child’s future oral health. Kids who feel both relaxed and safe at the dentist will demonstrate the following behaviours:
- More likely to return regularly for their check-ups and cleanings.
