The dentalvibe is one of the most awesome tools invented. I have always had serious tension when anticipating a numbing shot and since Dr. Ford Gatgens used this tool I have experienced no pain or discomfort when the numbing process is done.
“Best experience at a dentist in my 48 years of dental care.”
