At Gentle Dentists we continuously follow developments in dental procedures and technology.

We regularly update our state-of-the-art equipment, making your dental visit an exceptional one.

THE DIAGNODENT LASER
The Diagnodent is a laser decay detection system that is used to accurately identify weakened or decaying tooth structure. This is a fast and painless non-invasive tool that helps us to treat problems early. It enables us to prevent the further spread of decay and for minimally invasive dental treatment methods to be used.

INTRA-ORAL CAMERA
Intra-oral Cameras are an important diagnostic and educational tool. As it is nearly impossible to see inside your own mouth - Intra-oral Cameras provide a previously unseen view. With the images produced, patients can see each of their teeth and Dentists can indicate problems such as broken teeth, plaque, decay and so on. Using an Intraoral Camera allows patients to better understand their dental needs by seeing what the Dentist sees and then having it explained.

THE WAND
The wand is a miracle device for both dentists and patients alike. A common fear of the dentist involves the use of local anaesthetic injections to numb your teeth prior to any treatment. If an area is numbed inexpertly or too quickly, a sharp stinging sensation can be felt. At Gentle Dentists we have eliminated the 'stinging' sensation that is commonly associated with these injections.

AUTOMATIC EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS (AED)
An AED is a life-saving device for cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest cases are usually due to abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias, the vast majority of which are ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular fibrillation is a condition in which the heart's electrical impulses suddenly become chaotic, causing the heart to cease pumping blood effectively. Victims of sudden cardiac arrest collapse and quickly lose consciousness, often without warning. Unless a normal heart rhythm is restored, death will follow within a matter of minutes.
