The Soothing Science: Aromatherapy in Dentistry

A trip to the dentist's office can often be anxiety-inducing for many patients. The sterile smell of disinfectants and the fear of dental procedures can create a stressful atmosphere. However, in recent years, dentists have been exploring holistic approaches to make the dental experience more comfortable. Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils for therapeutic purposes, is one such approach gaining popularity in dentistry. Aromatherapy is an ancient practice that involves using essential oils extracted from plants to promote physical and psychological well-being.
