Question
Anyone know the six most frightening words in the world?
Answer
“The Dentist will see you now!”
Dentistry is a branch of medicine considered necessary for complete overall health. Usually a male profession by nature, the dentist is probably one of the only men in the world that can tell a woman when to open and when to shut her mouth, and get away with it! Dentists can be frustrating though. You wait a month-and-a-half for an appointment, and they say, “I wish you'd come to me sooner.” And it is practically a proven fact that toothaches always start on Friday night right before the weekend when the dental office will be closed.
Are you one of those people, like me, who gets tense and nervous the second you walk into your dentist’s office? Does the sound of the drill and the sight of needles just send you into a fit of nervousness? I understand. I’m the same way. The fear of pain makes the entire process most unpleasant. But it doesn’t have to be this way! This relaxation tip is just for you!
Dentist Relaxation Tip
Take deep breaths of dōTERRA’s “CITRUS” and “LAVENDER” essential oil (or apply 2-3 drops to the back of your neck) to relax and calm you—BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER a visit to the dentist’s office!
When University of Vienna researchers diffused the scents of “Orange” and “Lavender” into dentists’ offices, anxious patients reported they felt calmer. Both scents contain the chemical Linalool (a naturally occurring terpene alcohol chemical found in many flowers and spice plants), which seems to alter the blood chemistry to lower stress.
