Dental anxiety is an important societal issue.
To give appropriate and effective therapy, each patient
must be treated as an individual, and oral stress must be
promptly identified and eliminated. In several medical
specialties, music has shown considerable promise as an
alternative rehabilitation technique. Music therapy is a
painless and non-invasive anxiolytic technique that eases
dental anxiety by calming the mind and diverting
attention. The use of music in dental offices generates a
good environment for both patients and the staff
members that work there. The purpose of the article is to
discuss potential music therapy uses in dentistry and
how it may help those who are afraid of the dentist.
