Afraid of the dentist? Now you can relax!

Do you have anxiety when you go to the dentist? The truth is that many people have an innate dental fear, primarily because they are afraid of painful dental treatment. It is a common anxiety issue with practically all dental patients to some extent, and dentists have dealt professionally with this problem for many years.

NuCalm brings an advancement in relaxation therapy to provide an dental sedation option that works without drugs. Here’s how:

Step 1: Dietary supplements

The first component of Nucalm anxiety relief therapy is providing dietary supplements for the patient to chew for helping reduce the adrenaline associated with anxiety and fear. This takes about 3-5 minutes to take effect. There is no narcotic substance included in the supplements, but there is a Nucalm company proprietary chemical included that is not classified as a controlled substance.

Step 2: Ear patches and headphones

Stimulation patches are next applied behind the ears allowing the relaxation sensation to be more effective. Headphones are then put over the ears, and relaxing music is programmed through the headset to further enhance the relaxation therapy before actually beginning the dental treatment. This combination is used for a few more minutes.

Step 3: Sunglasses

The dentist will then provide a pair of sunglasses to block distracting lighting that the patient will obviously notice while inclined in the dentist chair. This allows the patient to further relax while the dentist is preparing to work on the patient’s teeth.

Positive results of all ages

The results of the Nucalm combination have been very positive for all dentists who have taken the step to offer relaxation and anxiety reduction therapy to their patients. It has been particularly effective for all age groups and can help reduce fear that children experience anytime they go to the dentist. Anxiety and fear often begin well in advance of the actual appointment day, especially for children.

It is important to remember this process is not intended to replace local numbing agents or applied anesthesia in serious dental treatment processes. But, it can help relieve the anxiety before the actual anesthesia is administered. One thing is clear about the success of this new approach. It means that anxiety levels can be reduced in the patient, and it also means that the dentist will not need to deal with patients that are overly anxious by nature, allowing the dentist to also relax while working.
