Ask your dentist about DentalJect

It's a cooling spray, not another medication — a drug-free way to make the start of your treatment easier.
A calmer visit
Starting your appointment with a comfortable, pain-free first step can lower anxiety for the whole visit.
Your questions, answered
Will the injection hurt?
It doesn't have to. By using DentalJect, a pre-injection anesthetic spray, your dentist can instantly cool and block your local pain receptors in under 2 seconds. Patients frequently report little to no discomfort, even at sensitive injection sites.
How long will the numbing last?
The pre-treatment from a cold spray like DentalJect wears off almost immediately after the needle is removed. You only experience the necessary, longer-lasting effects of the primary local anesthetic your dentist uses (which typically lasts 2–4 hours).
Is it safe for me or my child?
Experts generally advise that dental anesthesia is considered extremely safe for most adults and children (four years or older) when administered by a licensed professional. DentalJect itself is a drug-free topical spray. (Certain medical conditions or histories may affect eligibility for traditional local anesthesia — always talk to your dentist.)
Can it help if I usually need sedation?
Many people who ask about sedation are mainly worried about the pain of the needle. Because DentalJect provides a comfortable, often pain-free path to local anesthesia, it can be an effective first step that helps manage anxiety — sometimes providing enough comfort that sedation is not needed.
Ask your dentist about DentalJect
DentalJect is used by dental professionals. If a more comfortable injection matters to you, bring it up at your next visit — here's an easy way to start the conversation:
"I have some anxiety about injections. I read about DentalJect, a pre-injection cooling spray that numbs the area quickly. Is that something you'd be able to use for my treatment?"
