Shawnee Dentist, Dr. Castaneda Introduces the Dental Button to Practice

SHAWNEE, KANSAS – Shawnee dentist Dr. Alberto Castaneda recently introduced The Dental Button to his Shawnee dentistry practice.

The Dental Button is a device that sort of puts the patient in charge of their procedure by giving them the ability to stop the dentist's drill during a procedure simply by pressing a handheld button.

"We get patients occasionally who suffer from anxiety when they come to the dentist, either because they fear pain or because they've had a negative experience elsewhere in the past," said Castaneda, in his Shawnee general dentistry, who has used The Dental Button in his practice since December with great results.

The Dental Button empowers fearful or angst-ridden patients because if they feel pain or just need to take a break, pushing the button stops the dentist's drill. Castaneda doesn't begin the procedure again until the patient gives the OK and he resets the system.

In the three months The Dental Button has been in his office, Castaneda has seen an interesting occurrence. Few patients bother to use it.

"There's a great deal of benefit for the patient simply from holding that button and knowing they could push it if they needed to, said Shawnee dental implant practitioner Dr. Castaneda. "It enables the patient to feel in control and that in itself helps quash anxiety for many people."

Studies back up what Castaneda has witnessed at his Shawnee cosmetic dentistry office. When someone feels out of control in a situation, their perception of pain is heightened, said Paul Vandivort, a doctor of psychology.

Castaneda said he is pleased with how The Dental Button has helped some of his most fearful patients get through their procedures more smoothly and he looks forward to its continued use at his Shawnee dental care facility.
