Frequently Asked Questions

What fragrance is documented to reduce dental anxiety?

Published research specifically documents sweet orange and lavender fragrance profiles as reducing pre-treatment anxiety in dental waiting rooms. These profiles are available in Scent Swirl’s healthcare fragrance library and are our standard recommendation for dental practice deployments.

Which plan is right for a dental practice waiting room?

The Boutique plug-in plan at $80 per month covers spaces up to 250 sq ft — the exact size of most dental waiting rooms. No installation required. Plugs into any wall socket. Fragrance refills included monthly.

Will the fragrance conflict with dental products or sterilisation smells?

No. The sweet orange and lavender profile is specifically chosen to counteract rather than compete with clinical odours. It creates an arrival impression before patients encounter any treatment-area odours.
