Needle-Free, Pain-Free Dental Care for Kids
At Pediatric Dentistry of Reston, we’re proud to offer the latest in pain management for children’s dental care: Soan Electronic Dental Anesthesia. This revolutionary, needle-free technology allows your child to receive dental treatment without numbing shots or medications—making it an ideal option for kids who are anxious about needles or uncomfortable with traditional numbing methods.
Pediatric Dentistry of Reston is one of the few pediatric dentist offices in Northern Virginia offering Soan sedation as a gentle, effective alternative for a stress-free dental experience.
What Is Soan Electronic Dental Anesthesia?
Soan is a drug-free, electronic alternative to local anesthesia. It uses a small, handheld device to deliver painless electrical micro-pulses to the area being treated. These pulses interfere with the nerves’ ability to send pain signals, allowing your child to remain completely comfortable—without the need for needles, numbness, or medication.
This is a breakthrough technology for pediatric patients who are sensitive, fearful, or medically unable to tolerate traditional anesthetics.
Key Benefits of Soan for Kids
- ✅ No needles, no shots
- ✅ No numb lips, cheeks, or tongue afterward
- ✅ Immediate recovery – your child can eat, talk, and smile right after treatment
- ✅ Drug-free and non-invasive
- ✅ Reduces dental anxiety
- ✅ Safe for children with allergies or sensitivities to anesthetics
Soan creates a calm, positive experience for children—especially those who’ve had negative experiences with numbing in the past.
Is Soan Safe for Children?
Yes—Soan Electronic Dental Anesthesia is completely safe for pediatric patients. It has been tested and approved for use in children, and Dr. Kalantar has received specialized training to administer it effectively and safely.
It’s especially beneficial for:
- Mild to moderate procedures, such as fillings or sealants
- Children who have needle phobia or previous dental trauma
- Kids with special healthcare needs
- Patients who want to avoid post-procedure numbness
What Does Soan Feel Like?
Most children describe the sensation as a gentle vibration or tingle. There’s no pain, no discomfort, and no lingering effects. The device is applied externally, and your child stays awake and fully alert the entire time—just calm and comfortable.
