Now, Dental Patients Can Open Wide - Stress-Free!

Sixty million Americans avoid dental visits due to anxiety and fear. 82% who do visit their dentist admit anxiety, and 70% have some fear. Ten percent experience such a severe phobia that they avoid dental visits altogether.

Why? The answer is simple and based on our survival instinct. Humans don’t feel comfortable laying on their back, opening their mouth, and having a relative stranger put their hands and sharp instruments in their mouth. This vulnerable position elicits a powerful, predictable, and unavoidable fight-or-flight response.

But now, there’s a revolution happening in dentistry and the 21st century has arrived in dental offices across the country. Researchers at Solace Lifesciences, Inc., based in Wilmington, Delaware, have developed a modern solution to age-old dental phobia: the NuCalm® technology -- an all-natural, drug-free approach to stress relief that makes the patient more receptive to the dentist by mimicking the body’s natural process of deep relaxation.

Upon achieving their 500,000th NuCalm patient milestone, Solace Lifesciences’ CEO and President James M. Poole said, “This is truly a game-changer, both in terms of improved dental health for millions of Americans who will remain calm and relaxed in the dental chair, and for thousands of dentists who regularly deal with patient stress and cancelled appointments. We’re changing the perception of dental visits from a stressful experience to a relaxing one. NuCalm is transforming the entire industry.” Company VP is Newton resident David Poole.

After experiencing clinical success on a quarter million patients across 5 continents, NuCalm (www.nucalm.com) received a patent last July -- the first and only patent ever granted for a method to balance the health of the human autonomic nervous system. NuCalm’s four-step system -- in development since 2002 – can be administered in a couple minutes. It includes: (1) NuCalm proprietary cream; (2) Microcurrent stimulation; (3) Headphones that play music embedded with proprietary software; (4) Eye mask. The deep relaxation state occurs within minutes. In stages, the patient’s mind wanders, breathing slows down, and the body feels heavy and still. After a NuCalm dental appointment, patients feel refreshed, relaxed, and focused. There is no recovery time.

Poole says most people know the importance of good dental hygiene and that avoiding dental care can lead to a lot more than cavities. Bacteria from periodontal diseases can enter the bloodstream, travel to arteries in the heart and lead to blockage. Other ailments that can be traced to poor dental care include dementia, respiratory infections and diabetic complications. “That’s why getting people of all ages into the dental chair is so crucial,” Poole says. “NuCalm helps patients keep appointments and take better care of themselves.”

Dr. Paul J. Denemark, DDS, MSD, of Burr Ridge, Illinois, a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, admits initial skepticism: “NuCalm’s claims seemed too good to be true. But the science behind it was enough for me to give it a try. I was very surprised at my patients’ overwhelming delight. The protocol was simple and easy to implement. I have integrated NuCalm into my practice so I’m less stressed about performing surgery that may be uncomfortable for patients. I’m also less stressed during injection of local anesthetic because my patients are more relaxed."

Dr. Omer Reed of Concorde Dental in Phoenix, Arizona, says, “NuCalm is in daily use in my office. We have two – one used in hygiene and one at my chair. In the last six years, it has been far more effective, popular and timesaving than nitrous, hypnosis and IV sedation.”

James Poole says 98% of patients would recommend NuCalm to friends, and nearly all would do it again. He predicts that in a few years, NuCalm’s popularity will be worth $4 billion for the dental industry. Beyond dentistry, executives, pilots, psychotherapists, cancer patients, and professional athletes have used the system successfully. It is used regularly by members of the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks hockey team and was used by Olympic athletes from five countries at the XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. In addition, the U.S. military, Health Canada, and the Chinese Government have approved NuCalm.
