Dentify® Dental Aspirating Syringes - Premium Quality - ARTG (TGA) Listed

Dental syringes are designed to deliver local anesthetics safely and effectively during dental procedures. They ensure precise administration, allowing for pain-free treatment and patient comfort.

What is a dental syringe?

A dental syringe is a handheld tool. It consists of a tube (called a barrel) with a plunger inside. It is designed to inject a anesthetic into the oral cavity. 

Types of Dental Syringes:

Aspirating Syringes – allow clinicians to check for intravascular injection.

Self-Aspirating Syringes – reduce thumb pressure while maintaining safety.

Cartridge Syringes – compatible with standard anesthetic cartridges.

Disposable Syringes – used for irrigation or single-use anesthesia delivery.

Does a dentist use a syringe?

Dentists use a syringe to give a local anesthetic, to numb teeth and gums, to perform procedures like fillings or extractions without pain feeling

What is a self-aspirating dental syringe?

A self-aspirating syringe has a mechanism that creates a negative pressure for aspiration during dental local anesthetic injections.

What are the key differences between aspirating and self-aspirating syringes?

The main difference is in how they handle that suction check. An aspirating syringe has a little harpoon on the end of the plunger that digs into the rubber cap of the anesthetic tube. This lets the dentist pull back the plunger easily to suck in a tiny bit of fluid and see if there's blood.

A non-aspirating syringe doesn't have that harpoon, so you have to do it manually by pushing a little medicine out first and then releasing the plunger. This causes a small bounce-back from the tube's rubber end, but it's not as reliable or controlled.

Clinical Use of Dental Syringes:

Delivering local anesthesia for extractions, restorative, and periodontal procedures.

Irrigation of surgical sites or root canals.

Precise, controlled anesthetic placement for optimal patient comfort.
