Ballantyne Charlotte's New Tool for Stress-Free Dentistry: NuCalm


NuCalm is the latest tool by your local Charlotte cosmetic dentists. What NuCalm does is bring your body to that euphoric stage just before you fall asleep and which lasts throughout your dental treatment.

The NuCalm process
NuCalm has four individual components.
1. Chewable tablets that are scientifically designed to counteract adrenaline will be given to you. It is a proprietary formula that only NuCalm possesses, and it creates natural relaxation. 
2. Micro-current patches will be placed behind the ears to help you relax quicker.
3. You will be fitted with noise-deadening headphones that will deliver soothing music that takes your brain to its pre-sleep state of 8Hz to 12Hz per second.
4. You will be given a pair of blacked-out glasses. These are used to eliminate visual stimuli that may hinder the relaxation process.

The NuCalm experience
Thanks to advances in sedation dentistry, NuCalm provides you with that exact same experience that is the Alpha sleep stage. You will still be in the chair, and the procedure will occur in the same manner as it always does, but you will be completely lost in relaxation and unaware of what is going on. All thanks to NuCalm, you can leave your dental appointment feeling like you are walking out of a day-long spa treatment.

No longer having a fear of the dentist can completely alter how you approach your dental health. Think of all the appointments you intentionally missed because you were too afraid to go. Call your local Charlotte cosmetic dentists today, and let them show you what NuCalm can do for you.

Fight Dental Phobia with Sedation Dentistry!



Sedation dentistry is the answer to your dental phobia or any dental-related anxieties that have prevented you from either just visiting your dentist or from having that dental implant you so needed.

With the right dose and kind of sedatives your dentist will now be able to help you overcome these apprehensions that have haunted you for years.

The Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS) has also stated that patients, when going through a dental procedure, MUST be under an environment that is relaxed and safe. With this statement the DOCS mandates all dentists to recognize the benefits that sedation dentistry to both patients and dentists.

Depending on the procedure a dentist considers three kinds of administering a sedative. It can be by mouth (oral), by injection or IV (intravenous), or by inhalation.

Sedatives by inhalation like the laughing gas or nitrous oxide is preferred by those who have difficulties in swallowing pills or tablets.

On the other hand, patients who are uncomfortable with needles may shun the intravenous or injection way. But then again, what’s one prick to several minutes to an hour of relaxed and pain-free procedure (a good example is a smile makeover).

Allergies AND drinking habits are also taken into consideration when matching the best sedative for you. So don’t forget to be honest with your dentist since these information is of importance to your dental health when you will undergo a dental procedure that will require sedatives.

Through the science of sedative dentistry your dentist can now concentrate better on your dental needs. What’s more is that you yourself can now brave through several sessions of any dental procedure that doesn’t just require one visit (i.e. teeth whitening).


What’s there to fear if sedation dentistry is here?
