Natasha Shaw explains why<\/h4>\n<p>Let me set the scene. A nervous patient walks into a dental surgery, sits for a few minutes in the waiting room that\u2019s infused with the faint aroma of lavender, before being led into the treatment room feeling a little calmer. Such, it appears, is the power of scent.<\/p>\n<p>The right aroma could mean the difference between patients making a return visit to your clinic or going elsewhere for their next treatment. In fact, Scent Australia, a provider of scent solutions for businesses, claims, \u201cThe use of scent will reduce stress, reduce cancellations and increase profitability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEssential oils work on both the physiological and the psychological level. They connect to the olfactory system and can trigger many different memories or create new emotive connections,\u201d explains Lucille Wilson of Sydney Essential Oil Company. \u201cSo, choosing an oil blend that promotes a calm state of mind could help develop a positive association with a dental visit.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"bitem-article-desktop-720x300-in-text\" id=\"bitem-1154757415\"><!-- Bite 720x300 [async] -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (!window.AdButler){(function(){var s = document.createElement(\"script\"); s.async = true; s.type = \"text\/javascript\";s.src = 'https:\/\/servedby.engagemedia.com.au\/app.js';var n = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(s, n);}());}<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar AdButler = AdButler || {}; AdButler.ads = AdButler.ads || [];\r\nvar abkw = window.abkw || '';\r\nvar plc705185 = window.plc705185 || 0;\r\ndocument.write('<'+'div id=\"placement_705185_'+plc705185+'\"><\\\/'+'div>');\r\nAdButler.ads.push({handler: function(opt){ AdButler.register(165450, 705185, [720,300], 'placement_705185_'+opt.place, opt); }, opt: { place: plc705185++, keywords: abkw, domain: 'servedby.engagemedia.com.au', click:'CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER' }});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>Lavender is only one scent in a whole family of aromatics that is proving to put patients at ease and even minimise feelings of pain and discomfort in dental surgeries around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCedarwood, chamomile, marjoram, orange and ylang-ylang are also known to help reduce tension and soothe the nerves,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cEach oil has a unique chemical constituent profile that offers a variety of properties such as a sedative effect, an analgesic effect or an antiseptic action. Selecting oils that offer a range of properties will achieve a\u00a0synergistic result.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Dennis Teoh and his team at Dentique Dental Solutions have been using essential oils at their surgery for more than 10 years. \u201cThe clinical smell of dental clinics\/hospitals is often associated with fear or worry. By eliminating these smells, people tend to feel more calm and relaxed before commencing their treatment,\u201d explains Dentique practice manager Rae Job. \u201cWe use oil burners and offer patients refresher towels at the end of their appointment which we also infuse with scent beforehand.\u201d<\/p>\n<h5>The proof is in the perfume<\/h5>\n<p>The Egyptians, Greeks, Indians, Romans and Chinese are known for using essential oils in the field of therapeutics as far back as 6000 years ago. But it really wasn\u2019t until the 1980s that aromatherapy itself gained mainstream attention as natural healing practitioners became more popular and accepted around the world.<\/p>\n<p>As aromatherapy is such an ancient practice, there have been numerous studies conducted on the use of scents in the medical arena. One such study of 597 adult dental patients, published in the Journal of Research in Pharmacy Practice last year, looked at the impact of lavender (an oil known for its relaxing, carminative and sedative effects) on patient anxiety. It found that lavender significantly decreased the level of anxiety in these patients, and concluded that using lavender essential oil in a dental practice would indeed<br \/>\nbe beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>A 2013 study published in Advanced Biomedical Research investigated the effect of orange essential oil on 30 children, aged six to nine, during dental treatment. The results were again conclusive, showing that the level of cortisol (stress hormone) in the\u00a0children\u2019s saliva decreased, as did the children\u2019s pulse rates.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at Japan\u2019s Nara Women\u2019s University recently discovered that thyme\u00a0may be the new super-essential-oil. It was found to have excellent pain-relieving properties, perhaps even more so than ibuprofen. It seems one of the constituents in thyme oil, carvacrol, inhibits a particular enzyme that is part of the body\u2019s inflammatory process that produces pain.<\/p>\n<h5>Making scents<\/h5>\n<p>Aside from the possibility of calming and soothing your patients, scents can disguise that clinical smell of harsh detergents and chemicals. And, in their purest form, some\u2014including tea tree oil, cinnamon bark, lemon oil, thyme oil and rosemary oil\u2014are even known to fight bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to begin imparting delicious, cleansing and calming scents into your surgery, most aromatherapy experts recommend using an electric diffuser or vaporiser, as these will release the scent consistently, without flames or messy bowls or jars of oil, and the impact is subtle. \u201cAs each person\u2019s sensitivities can be different, this is the least invasive method of application,\u201d says Wilson. There are many on the market\u2014Air Aroma and Scent Australia are two Aussie companies that supply them for medical businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would definitely be useful to have the essential oil vaporising in the waiting room so that there is an air of calm during the initial stages of the visit,\u201d Wilson advises. \u201cIf the dentist is happy to have the oil in the consultation room, then this can also be helpful to maintain a relaxed state, but it is also important to ensure the dentist and other staff enjoy the essential oil blend as they are surrounded by it for many more hours than the client.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Anna Mason, an aromatherapy lecturer at Sydney\u2019s Nature Care College,\u00a0recommends using more than one scent together. \u201cBlends, such as lavender, eucalyptus and lemon, or orange, sandalwood lavender, are two blends I would use,\u201d she says. \u201cSome people have aversion to the scent of a\u00a0single essential oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not a great believer of aromatherapy, using essential oils in your practice may be worth a shot, even if it\u2019s only to create a nicer ambience. Just think of how everyday people react to the heady aroma of roses, a just-peeled orange, or a bunch of freshly picked basil.<\/p>\n<p>For a positive patient experience, you could start small and add a lovely lemongrass scent to refresher towels as part of your after-treatment care plan, just as Dentique Dental Solutions has, and then take note of how your patients react. Or you could position a small diffuser filled with lavender oil at the reception counter as a fragrant welcome.<\/p>\n<p>You never know\u2014your patients might turn out to be a little less anxious during their treatments, and you and your staff might discover you actually<br \/>\nenjoy walking into a surgery that doesn\u2019t immediately smell of dental instrument detergent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s easily overlooked but attention to small details, such as the aroma of your practice, has many benefits.
