Developed by a board certified psychiatrist with over 20 years experience in the field and previous Medical Director and Director of Integrative Psychiatry at the Neurodiagnostic Institute.
What is it?
Tranquil dentistry utilizes the Richard’s method which is an evidence based program of techniques hand picked by myself to help calm the nervous system, reduce pain and improve healing. Through my years of experience as an Integrative Psychiatrist I have done exhaustive research on many new and time tested modalities. I have chosen the ones that are easy to use in the dentist office and that are research proven to be effective.
As a Reiki Master and Shaman, I have also included Reiki infused crystals and I infuse energy healing into every item used to help increase healing/reduce pain and elevate the experience.
Sensory Tools
Below are some of the sensory tools and why they are included in Tranquil Dentistry;
- Aromatherapy helps to calm the mind and body while also covering the smell of the antiseptic and the drill
- Natural crystals were chosen for their grounding and healing properties
- Blue lens glasses help provide color therapy with blue being relaxing and calming for your eyes and nervous system as a whole
- Hot/cold pack can soothe and calm the nervous system
- Fidget tools provide sensations to your skin, muscles and nerves that can help override the sensations going on in your mouth
Some examples of what other options are included:
- Sound healing – Covers the sound of the drill. Also hand picked for pain reduction and calming the nervous system
- Aromatherapy – Oils hand picked for pain reduction and calming. This reduces the stress people feel when smelling the drill as well. Delivered directly under the nose so it will not disturb staff or other patients.
- Acupressure techniques the patient can easily perform on themselves during dental work
- Cold packs to trigger the vagus nerve
- Fidget tools – to calm those who need more sensory input to override the sensations of dental work
- Sensory tools hand picked based on your “sensory diet” meaning what calms your nervous system
- Noise cancellation headphones for those who become very anxious due to the sounds of the drill
- Eye masks to reduce visual input for those who need reduced sensory input
- Natural crystal eye masks that are reiki infused and provide weight and a cold sensation on the face
- Grounding techniques and meditations – hand picked to calm the nervous system
- Affirmations for calming the nervous system and pain reduction
- Weighted blankets to help calm the nervous system
