Dental Practice Scenting Singapore — Research-Backed Calm for Anxious Patients from S$80/Month

Controlled studies in dental waiting rooms have found that pleasant ambient scents lower patient anxiety. In a randomised trial, patients exposed to orange scent reported lower anxiety and a more positive mood than patients in an unscented waiting room, with the effect found in women (Lehrner et al., 2000). A follow-up study found similar effects for both orange and lavender (Lehrner et al., 2005).
