Dental Pain Eraser in Colorado Springs, CO

If dental anxiety or fear of needles has kept you from getting the care you need, the Dental Pain Eraser at Pine Creek Dental in Colorado Springs, CO, offers a gentle alternative to traditional numbing methods for certain procedures.

Dental pain and concerns about discomfort can make dental visits stressful for patients of all ages. Dr. Bill Thompson, DDS, and Dr. Ellie Cochran, DDS, provide comfortable, patient-focused dental care with advanced technology designed to improve your experience. The Dental Pain Eraser is one of the tools our team uses to support pain management and help patients feel more comfortable during treatment.

The Dental Pain Eraser is an FDA-cleared electronic dental anesthesia device that uses gentle electrical pulses to help calm nerves and block dental pain. This technology provides an alternative to traditional numbing methods for certain dental procedures and can be used for a variety of dental visits.

What Is the Dental Pain Eraser?

The Dental Pain Eraser is a handheld device that provides electronic dental anesthesia through electrical stimulation. Using Advanced Pulsewave Technology™, the device sends gentle electrical pulses that help calm nerves and block pain signals in the mouth.

For appropriate patients and procedures, this electronic dental anesthesia solution can provide pain relief without relying solely on traditional local anesthetics. The device is portable and can be used as part of dental pain management during treatment.

The Dental Pain Eraser has been used in general dentistry, orthodontic care, oral surgery, and pediatric dental applications. Published studies have evaluated its use, and it is a trusted tool for reducing pain and anxiety during dental procedures and managing pain in several types of treatment.

Benefits of the Dental Pain Eraser for Pain Relief

The Dental Pain Eraser is designed to help make dental care more comfortable by supporting pain relief through gentle electrical stimulation.

Potential benefits include:

  • Support for pain relief during dental procedures
  • A comfortable alternative or complement to traditional numbing methods
  • Reduced dental pain and anxiety
  • Electronic dental anesthesia without traditional injections in appropriate procedures
  • Support for patients who are concerned about needles
  • Convenient application with a handheld device
  • Technology designed to work quickly
  • Support for a more comfortable dental experience
  • Use during a variety of dental procedures
  • Potential support for patients experiencing tooth sensitivity

The appropriate pain management approach depends on the dental procedure, the affected area, and each patient’s specific needs. Our team will determine whether the Dental Pain Eraser is appropriate for your treatment.

How Does Electronic Dental Anesthesia Work?

The Dental Pain Eraser uses electrical stimulation to interact with the nerves responsible for transmitting dental pain. Its Advanced Pulsewave Technology sends gentle electric pulses to calm nerves and help block pain signals.

The device is applied at the point of treatment, allowing our team to provide targeted electronic dental anesthesia during appropriate procedures. This can help reduce the level of pain patients experience during treatment.

The technology is also designed to work quickly. The Dental Pain Eraser helps remove the threat of dental pain in seconds, including before a patient sits in the dental chair.

Your Pine Creek Dental team will explain how the device will be used during your specific treatment and whether additional forms of anesthesia or pain management are appropriate.

What Procedures May Benefit From the Dental Pain Eraser?

The Dental Pain Eraser can be used across several areas of dental care. Its applications include general dentistry, orthodontic treatment, oral surgery, and pediatric dentistry.

Depending on the procedure and individual needs, electronic dental anesthesia may be considered for:

  • Dental cleanings and treatment involving tooth sensitivity
  • Restorative dental procedures
  • Certain procedures involving the root surface
  • Orthodontic adjustments
  • Orthodontic treatment
  • New braces and orthodontic appliances
  • Rubber band changes
  • Bite correction appliances
  • Other appropriate dental procedures

The device has also been studied for applications involving oral pain, pediatric procedures, and oral surgery. In addition to reducing pain, the Dental Pain Eraser can help manage anxiety during dental procedures and eliminate the use of needles in certain general restorative procedures.

Not every procedure requires the Dental Pain Eraser, and it does not replace every form of traditional anesthesia. Dr. Thompson or Dr. Cochran will recommend the appropriate approach based on your dental needs and the type of treatment being performed.

Dental Pain Eraser for Orthodontic Care

Orthodontic treatment can involve periods of adjustment as teeth respond to new forces and appliances. Patients may experience orthodontic pain or sensitivity after certain adjustments, when beginning new braces, or when changing elastic wear and appliances.

The Dental Pain Eraser has applications in orthodontics and has been recognized by the American Association of Orthodontists for its innovation. It has also received multiple AAO awards, including New Products Showcase Awards in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

For patients receiving orthodontic care, the technology may help support a more comfortable orthodontic experience during appropriate procedures and adjustments.

I have been going to Pine Creek Dental for years. The staff is amazing! They are great at explaining everything as they go. I am so glad I found this place after my previous dentist retired. I will not go anywhere else.
