inmu<\/strong>RELAX can help soothe dental anxiety. It creates a calming atmosphere, and gives the patient something else to focus on.<\/p>\nAnxieties are never rational, and it is often the smallest things that can be the greatest source of anxiety, such as the sound of the drill, the sight of a needle lying on a tray or the smell of the dental clinic. Even just hearing the dentist talk using technical terms to describe one\u2019s teeth during an examination can seem frightening.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the anticipation of pain and of discomfort that is unnerving, the fear of the unknown\u2014not necessarily the examination or treatment itself. Lying in the dentist chair can make you feel like you are powerless, and the feeling of not being in control can be a major trigger for anxiety.<\/p>\n
inmu<\/strong>RELAX can help give the patient some of that feeling of control back by providing a comfortable distraction. Once in a while the patient has to interact with inmu<\/strong>RELAX by pressing or stroking it in order to keep the vibrations and the music playing. That gives the patient an easy task to focus on. inmu<\/strong>RELAX has a soft cover, and details such as the golden wave that runs around it, which can keep the fingers distracted.<\/p>\nThe gentle vibrations help you calm down, and this makes it easier for the patient to drift away.<\/p>\n
For dentists and dental hygienists, using inmu<\/strong>RELAX can make their work easier, because they don\u2019t need to spend as much time talking to the patient to keep the patient distracted.<\/p>\nWith inmu<\/strong>RELAX you not only have a beautiful soft cushion to hold and keep your hands busy, but you also have the relaxing and calming music and soft vibrations. With your hand in the pocket you feel safe and can more easily get away into your own world while the dentist is doing his or her job.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dentis-and-girl-with-inmuRELAX-7.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.25.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_testimonial author=”Nina Rune” job_title=”Dental hygienist, Tandplejen Skolebakken, Grenaa, Denmark” portrait_url=”https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dentist.jpg” quote_icon_color=”#096024″ _builder_version=”3.23.3″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
\u201cUsually I\u2019ll fill the time before the anaesthesia starts working by idle chat. But with inmu<\/strong>RELAX that hasn\u2019t been necessary. It makes the patient lie completely still while they just feel the vibrations and listen to the music.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_blurb icon_placement=”left” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ header_font=”||||||||” body_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”10px” border_color_all=”#f7f7f7″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\u201cGood planning is everything\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/h5>\nDental hygienist Nina Rune has twelve years\u2019 experience giving dental treatments to kids and teenagers with dental anxiety.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most important thing when working with people with dental anxiety, is to take everything one step at a time. To remain calm and not stray from what you\u2019ve planned beforehand. Good planning is everything,\u201d Nina Rune explains.<\/p>\n
Nina uses the inmu to calm and to distract her patients while she examines them.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThey feel like they can relax\u201d<\/strong>
<\/h5>\n\u201cAt the clinic we specialise in treating kids and teenagers with dental anxiety. Basically, we have collected the patients here that have anxieties or special needs\u2014diagnosed and undiagnosed. They come here, and they feel like they can relax.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of my patients is a 17-year-old boy. When he comes to the clinic, he\u2019ll stand around for a bit in the waiting room. He just has to get used to the situation and go through the procedures with us before we begin. He\u2019ll tell me that he\u2019s ready, and we can begin the treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Going through the individual steps of the treatment and making the patient comfortable with the procedure and the instruments used during the treatment is important in making the patient as comfortable as possible before the treatment begins.<\/p>\n
In some cases, she and her colleagues will even let a patient come in at a time when there is no one else in the clinic.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cIt can feel embarrassing to be afraid to go to the dentist\u201d
<\/h5>\n<\/strong>\u201cFor some of the boys it can feel embarrassing to be afraid to go to the dentist, and they don\u2019t want their friends to know that they feel nervous about coming here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She also visits people\u2019s own homes. For many people with dental anxiety simply being in the dental clinic can feel frightening.<\/p>\n
\u201cSometimes we\u2019ll do home visits too before patients come to the clinic, to reassure them about what is going to happen during the procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cEverything gets easier when you are calm\u201d
<\/strong><\/h5>\nAnd often Nina Rune will start out slow. First by simply having the patient lie down in the dentist chair. Then by making a simple, non-invasive examination of the patient\u2019s teeth. Slowly, and by taking everything one step at a time, she makes the patient accustomed to the situation and the environment, and when he or she feels like they are ready to move on to the next step, Nina will continue the treatment.<\/p>\n
Often even simple procedures can be triggering for someone with dental anxiety.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe last time he was here, we were making a mould for a nightguard for him, because he has been grinding his teeth. That\u2019s something he has never tried before. And he wasn\u2019t too happy about it. He had been worried about the procedure for several days when he came here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI told him about the inmu<\/strong>RELAX, and told him that I thought it would help him. And it really did. It helped him calm down, and everything gets easier when you are calm. He was very excited about using the inmu<\/strong>RELAX. It made a huge difference. The inmu<\/strong>RELAX really saved him.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.11.2″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cThe inmu really saved him\u201d<\/strong>
<\/h5>\nThrough using inmu<\/strong>RELAX she has found that the inmu<\/strong>RELAX can help calm and provide a distraction during the procedure.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ll give them the inmu<\/strong>RELAX when they are lying in the chair. Then I\u2019ll use a disinfectant wipe to clean their hands. I\u2019ll put the inmu<\/strong>RELAX on their stomach and guide their hand into the pocket.\u201d<\/p>\nInstead of focusing on the look of the dentist\u2019s instruments and on what is going on inside their mouth, they can instead focus their attention on the inmu<\/strong>RELAX; on the soft material, on the music, and on the gentle vibrations that it produces.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Girl-and-dentis-with-inmuRELAX-3.jpg” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.25.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_testimonial author=”Patient” portrait_url=”https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/musikpuden-5.jpg” quote_icon_color=”#127a08″ quote_icon_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” _builder_version=”3.18.9″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
After I tried the inmu<\/strong> at the dentist, I felt much more relaxed and safe.

<\/h2>\nStudies\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- <\/span>A study conducted at three dental clinics showed that 85% of the patients (mostly children) felt less pain when using inmu<\/strong>RELAX. 79% felt that inmu<\/strong>RELAX provided a comfortable distraction, and that they paid less attention to what the dentist was doing.<\/li>\n
- Dentists who have used inmu<\/strong>RELAX report a noticeable improvement on their working environment after introducing inmu<\/strong>RELAX. It has made it easier to calm down patients, made it easier to treat patients with dental anxiety or dental phobia, and has allowed them to relax more during treatments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

inmu<\/strong>RELAX makes a huge differencen every time we use it in our daily work. It makes the child relax – and the parents too. \u00a0We use it in a lot of different situation. It also makes us relax – the whole treatment room comes in a state of calmness.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_blurb use_icon=”on” font_icon=”%%45%%” icon_color=”#096024″ use_circle=”on” circle_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_placement=”left” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”31px” _builder_version=”4.11.2″ body_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ hover_enabled=”0″ border_width_all=”10px” border_color_all=”#f7f7f7″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nTips\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- Disinfect the patient\u2019s hands before using inmu<\/strong>RELAX.<\/li>\n
- Put inmu<\/strong>RELAX onto the patient\u2019s chest or stomach to get the full use of the gentle vibrations and music.<\/li>\n
- Guide the patient\u2019s hand into the inmu<\/strong>RELAX\u2019s pocket to make it easier to hold.<\/li>\n
- inmu<\/strong>RELAX can be held with one hand or both hands.<\/li>\n
- Show the tactile elements of inmu<\/strong>RELAX, and guide the patient to run their fingers along the golden wave along the inmu<\/strong>RELAX\u2019s curve to provide a distraction.<\/li>\n
- Tell the patient to focus on keeping inmu<\/strong>RELAX playing during treatment to serve as a distraction.<\/li>\n
- Raise inmu<\/strong>RELAX into a vertical position, if the patient has trouble hearing the music.<\/li>\n
- Ask the patient to move inmu<\/strong>RELAX around during treatment, as this helps loosen up the muscles, and helps them from tensing up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

It is estimated that about half the population feels anxious about going to the dentist (dental anxiety or dental fear). Skipping the dentist can lead to bad oral health, which in turn can affect the entire immune system. Using inmuRELAX can help calm and distract patients, and it provides dentist and dental hygienists with a calmer working environment. Dental anxiety in numbers According to a 2015 study from Dental Research Journal as many as 59% of people have anxieties about going to the dentist, and 5\u201310% suffer from dental phobia (also known as odontophobia). Dental anxiety and dental phobia make people averse to going to the dentist, and often make people skip dental appointments and regular check-ups. In severe cases people may even refrain completely from going to the dentist, even if they are in need of treatment, because their fear is greater than the dental discomfort they experience.Prevailing health issues While feeling nervous or ill at ease about going to the dentist, people who suffer from dental phobia may experience anxiety attacks, and dental fear is recognised as a phobia. Dental anxiety often manifests itself as a fear of feeling pain or discomfort in the mouth, or a fear […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":7596,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2256,112,2317],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-anxiety","category-dentist","category-inmurelax"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7109"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51727,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7109\/revisions\/51727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inmutouch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
