Dental Practice Scenting Malaysia — Reduce Patient Anxiety from MYR 260/Month

In a controlled study of 72 patients in a dental waiting room, women exposed to ambient orange scent reported lower anxiety, a more positive mood and greater calmness than those waiting without scent (Lehrner et al., 2000). A follow-up by the same team found similar results with orange and lavender. Not every study has replicated the effect (Toet et al., 2010), so we treat scent as one part of a calmer waiting experience rather than a treatment.
