We know a not-so-fun part of orthodontic treatment can be sore teeth, so we're excited to offer the Dental Pain Eraser for our patients to use during their treatment (or for any mouth related pain like canker sores, injuries, etc). We're getting great feedback so far from patients who have tried it and it's covered by most dental insurances (score!)! 🥳

The Dental Pain Eraser is hand-held, easy to use device that delivers immediate pain relief for dental pain, orthodontic pain, and canker sores. dentalpaineraser.com
