NuCalm: Overcoming Dental Anxiety
For patients with a more severe fear of the dentist’s office, we offer the revolutionary NuCalm system. Dr. Ahrabi will discuss all sedation options with patients during their dental consultation. Your safety and well-being are our top priority, and Dr. Ahrabi will help you choose what sedation options are appropriate to help you relax while receiving quality dental care.

How NuCalm Works
First, Dr. Ahrabi will apply a topical cream, or supply you with a dietary supplement to be chewed. This step is to help your body counteract the adrenaline that makes you feel anxious. This will create a natural feeling of relaxation.
Then small, noninvasive microcurrent stimulation patches are placed behind each ear. This help to facilitate the body’s most relaxed state. Noise-dampening headphones are worn and provide gentle and soothing sounds taking your brain to a pre-sleep state. A light-blocking eye mask is worn to help keep you in a relaxed state.
These four simple elements allow patients to rest in a blissful state of relaxation. Without the use of narcotics, you can remain aware of your surroundings while feeling totally and entirely relaxed.
