Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA)
At Appolonia Dentistry for Children, we want your child’s experience of their dental treatment in our Khalifa City or o Khalidiya clinic to be as comfortable as possible, which is why we are proud to use the STA as our local anesthetic for children.
The Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA™) is the first computer-controlled local dental anesthetic system that has helped many children overcome their fear of the dentist.

How does the STA work?
The STA is ideal for treating children. It is a pain-free alternative to the traditional dental injection, and it is a computerized system that delivers precise local anesthetic without the pain and anxiety of a dental needle or discomfort associated with the effects of extensive numbing.
Traditionally, local anesthetic is administered with a needle and numbs the entire side of the face – which not only makes it difficult to speak and eat after treatment, but it can cause post-operative trauma too, as children cannot feel if they are biting their lips or cheeks. The STA is changing all that, using a computerized, sensor-controlled probe that numbs only the tooth being treated.

Benefits of
Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA)
1) It reduces child fear of needles
- It eliminates the need for the traditional needle! The STA removes any anxiety associated with dental injections.
2) It minimizes the post-operative numbness and the possibility of lip-biting
- It is unbelievably precise. The STA precision control makes the whole numbing procedure less painful overall. It only numbs the tooth being treated.
- With STA, children won’t experience anesthetic effects in the lips, tongue or cheeks, which eliminate the issues related to biting and temporary changes to facial expressions.
3) It minimizes the amount of pain during the anesthesia procedure
- The injection speed is below the patients’ pain threshold, so the pain will be minimal.
- It works instantly. The STA negates the need to wait for the anesthetic to take effect, so the dentist can complete your child’s treatment more quickly.
- The source of discomfort for most injections isn’t the needle, it’s the flow of the anesthetic into your gum tissue. The STA delivers the anesthetic at an optimal flow rate directly into handpiece for a comfortable injection, so the patient hardly feels anything at all.
