The Comforting Benefits of the Soan Anesthetic Injection Pen
July 17, 2025
If your child needs dental work that requires numbing, convincing them to sit still for the pinch of a needle can be a challenge. Thankfully, the Soan anesthetic injection pen was designed to help. This pain-free, pinch-free, compact instrument delivers local anesthetic directly to your child’s mouth, making what is often the most scary or uncomfortable part of their dental treatment a whole lot easier. Here’s what you need to know about this innovative device, and how it can help make your child’s dental treatment much more comfortable.
What is the Soan Anesthetic Injection Pen?
The Soan anesthetic injection pen is a cordless device that delivers precise, painless anesthetic to your child’s mouth. The device uses something called an Effitec Needle, which delivers the anesthetic so slowly it eliminates the sensation of puncturing the skin, preventing the pain associated with this step.
What Are the Benefits of the Soan Anesthetic Injection Pen?
Although it can be used for patients of all ages, the Soan anesthetic injection pen uses smaller Effitec Needles to deliver painless anesthesia to children. It is ergonomically designed to help your dentist use only slight pressure, and because the anesthesia itself can be delivered in a more targeted manner, it eliminates soft tissue numbness where it’s not needed. This reduces the risk of your child accidentally biting themself accidentally from being too numb or having excessive numbness for hours after treatment.
Furthermore, unlike seeing a traditional needle headed for their mouth, the Soan’s non-threatening appearance will put your child at ease so they’re more likely to receive their anesthesia willingly.
When Can My Child Use the Soan Anesthetic Injection Pen?
The great news about the Soan anesthetic injection pen is that it can be used to deliver anesthetics during any procedure that requires numbing via a traditional needle, including injections to the palate! This means everything from cavities to extractions can be more comfortable and less scary for your child. However, if you have any questions or concerns or would like to learn more about whether your child qualifies for this treatment, reach out to your dentist for more information.
Remember, getting anesthetic via injection is designed to numb the pain associated with many dental treatments, but getting a needle can often be more traumatic for children than the procedure itself. With the Soan anesthetic injection pen, your child won’t feel the pinch of a traditional injection, making the numbing process more comfortable and less scary, and allowing them to have a more pleasant dental treatment from start to finish.
