DentalVibe eliminates patient anxiety over the injection

After studying the Gate Control Theory of pain, Dr Steven Goldberg, a practicing dentist, invented his three-in-one injection comfort system to enable the delivery of anesthetic injections without discomfort. The DentalVibe works with proprietary VibraPulse technology, delivering pulsed vibration while at the same time retracting the lip and check and illuminating the injection site. The result is a comfortable, stress-free injection.

When Dental Tribune stopped by the DentalVibe booth at the recent Greater New York Dental Meeting to learn more about the product, Goldberg was enthusiastic.

“The response I am getting is so rewarding,” Goldberg said. “Dentists tell me all the time how happy they are with DentalVibe.” (He then pulled out his iPhone and played a voice message from a dentist who was thrilled with the way he was able to comfortably give a young girl her first shot.)

Dental Tribune also had the opportunity to learn more about DentalVibe from several of the company’s sales reps.

“I had a doctor in Boca Raton, Fla., do it to me,” said Traci Pearl. “I took one for the team. Not only was the injection OK, it was better than OK. This product sells itself.”

“Patients don’t always talk about it, but fear over injection pain is something they are concerned about,” said Tatiana Acero. “Nobody likes to get an injection, but when a patient goes to the dentist regularly, it is going to cost less.”

Andrea Olavarria said DentalVibe is especially useful in pediatric dentistry, where there can be two sources of distress — the child and the parent. “DentalVibe works through stress for both the child and the nervous mother,” she said.

“The DentalVibe is a home run for the doctor,” said Ed Black. “Not only is it effective clinically, it also brings in more patients, reduces cancellations and increases referrals. In fact, it is a referral monster.”
