It specifically reduces the anxiety caused by the noises of the dental environment by playing a\u00a0 mixture of relaxing audio tracks blended with white noise at just the right level. Like many good ideas it a very simple concept. Having experiemented with noise cancelling earphones before I was initially doubtful that this device would be any different however,\u00a0am happy to admit that I was wrong and our patient feedback on this has been excellent.<\/p>\n<p>Although at present nothing will block out every single dental noise, this device really does make a difference and I have been amazed to watch even\u00a0 my more skeptical patients become converts as they visibly relax while using it. We were\u00a0 fortunate to be among the\u00a0the first clinics in scotland to offer this technology and I am very\u00a0grateful to Dr Rich Varlisky\u00a0 in\u00a0 California for helping to make that happen. The audio tracks on the B-Calm device clearly seem to aid relaxation and\u00a0are \u00a0much more than something to drown out the sounds of the drill. When asked, most of my patients say that it beats wearing their MP3 player\u00a0 hands down. So we are giving this our seal of approval\u00a0 as something that really does make a difference. We plan \u00a0to incorporate this into our\u00a0dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigentinny.co.uk\">nervous patient programme<\/a> \u00a0and offer it to all patients who suffer from dental anxiety, dental fear or dental phobia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I would share\u00a0 a bit of feedback from the patients at our Dental Practice in Edinburgh to our latest gadget.\u00a0 Called the B-Calm it is\u00a0 designed to help patients who suffer from dental anxiey or fear and \u00a0I mentioned it briefly back in Januarys blog posting.
