Pain Free Dental Injections in Portland

Traditional dental injections can be one of the most anxiety-provoking aspects of a child’s dental visit, often creating lasting fears about dental care. Many children develop dental phobia specifically because of painful injection experiences, which can affect their willingness to seek necessary dental treatment throughout their lives.

At Pine Tree Pediatric Dentistry, we’ve invested in the SOAN cordless electronic local anesthetic delivery system to transform this experience for your child. This innovative technology ensures that dental injections are truly comfortable, helping create positive dental experiences that last a lifetime.

Advanced SOAN Technology

The SOAN cordless electronic local anesthetic delivery system represents a significant advancement in pediatric dental care. This compact, lightweight device is designed specifically to eliminate the discomfort traditionally associated with dental injections.

Unlike conventional injection methods, SOAN uses intelligent technology that calculates tissue resistance in real-time and adjusts injection speed and pressure accordingly. This means your child experiences a completely pain-free injection, even in the most sensitive areas of the mouth.

How SOAN Benefits Your Child

The SOAN system delivers multiple advantages that work together to create an entirely different injection experience for your child. These benefits address the common concerns parents have about dental procedures while ensuring optimal comfort throughout treatment.

Complete Pain Elimination

The SOAN system provides painless injections for all areas of the mouth, including traditionally sensitive areas like the palate. The precision pen grip design and adapted flow rates ensure your child feels no discomfort during the injection process.

No Puncture Sensation

When combined with specialized needles, SOAN eliminates the typical “pinch” sensation children fear. Your child won’t experience the sharp feeling that often causes anxiety about dental procedures.

Smart, Adaptive Technology

The system’s intelligent design automatically adjusts to your child’s unique tissue characteristics, providing optimal comfort throughout the entire injection process.

Non-Threatening Design

The SOAN device features an elegant, non-threatening appearance that helps reassure anxious children and creates a more positive dental experience.

Fast-Acting Results

SOAN allows for targeted anesthesia that works quickly without causing unnecessary numbness in surrounding areas. This means your child gets comfortable faster and recovers more quickly after treatment.

Additional Comfort Technologies

We complement our SOAN technology with other comfort-focused amenities designed specifically for children. Our office features noise-canceling headphones to reduce anxiety from unfamiliar sounds, weighted blankets for children who benefit from sensory input, and specialized lighting options to create a calming atmosphere.

Some treatment rooms include ceiling-mounted screens that play your child’s favorite shows during appointments, providing distraction and entertainment during procedures. We also utilize low-radiation digital X-ray technology that provides detailed images while minimizing radiation exposure.
