DRA DIGEST: January, 2024 edition

Welcome to DRA DIGEST — the Newsletter of Dental Resource Asia (DRA).

Dear DRA Digest Community,

Confronting dental anxiety and needle phobia is vital in ensuring everyone receives necessary dental care. Dental anxiety, fueled by fears of pain, loss of control, judgment, and the unknown, often leads to avoidance. Needle phobia compounds this, hindering individuals from seeking essential treatment.

Excitingly, Australia’s Griffith University is trialing a game-changing Needle-Free Dental Anaesthetic Tool using LED lights. This innovative approach eliminates the need for needles, providing pain relief by sending pulses through the tooth’s bone. With a 20-second burst, it numbs an area for 20 minutes, offering a comfortable alternative.

Led by Professor Laurence Walsh, this tool addresses the significant issue of needle phobia, impacting 30% of Australians who avoid dental visits. If successful, it could be implemented in clinics by next year, revolutionising dental care and making visits less daunting for all.

This groundbreaking development represents a significant step towards enhancing patient comfort and has the potential to transform dental care practices, making dental visits less daunting for those struggling with needle phobia. Let us look forward to a future where dental anxiety is minimised, and everyone can confidently seek the dental care they need.

Best Regards,

Camille (DRA Digest Editorial Team)
