Soothing Dentistry

As individuals, you unconsciously relate dental visits with either the sounds of the drill or specific odors in the dental office or discomfort associated with the anesthesia, like the needle or numbness that follows and lasts. All of the above are negative, self-defeating thoughts which allow some level of perceived apprehension to come to your mind. In turn, your mind creates certain physical reactions in your body, like muscular tension, increased heart rate, perspiration, coldness in the hands and feet.

Your negative thoughts or feelings, about the dental experience and previous dental treatment, sometimes prevent you from having regular dental care to maintain your oral health, which in turn affects your whole body health.

Dr. Balica offers a homey and relaxing ambiance. We believe positive affirmations can change your perception about the dental experience. Our luscious plants, flickering aromatherapy candles, massage pads on each dental chair, eye masks and soothing sound therapy create a caring and comforting atmosphere.

We work with you to choose the best option for reducing your apprehension and therefore, stress associated with dental treatment. Some of our methods are acupuncture or accupressure, breathing and meditation exercises, herbal remedies as well as conventional methods, including conscious sedation.

Many dental problems impact your whole body health:

by interfering with your nutrition and your sleep
by keeping your immune system active and draining your energy
by increasing your total body toxic load due to non-biocompatible dental materials

By using the concept of whole body dentistry, we will show you how to improve your body health by improving and maintaining your oral health.

Smile today with a glow of health and confidence!
