Dental Anxiety
atmosphere-Healthcare's relaxation display screens give dentists and patients a unique way to
address the fear of going to the dentist, leading to worry-free patient care and higher patient
satisfaction and referrals.
Las Vegas, NV, August 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Is the fear of going to the dentist keeping patients from
getting critical healthcare? According to recent studies, the answer is yes. Statistics show that between
9% and 20% of Americans (between 30 and 40 million people) avoid going to the dentist regularly
because of Dental Anxiety, the fear of seeking or receiving dental care.
This avoidance can lead to more serious health issues such as gum disease and tooth decay. A JADA
(Journal of the American Dental Association) report found that a patient's perception of a dental care
experience as painful ... can not only result in poor satisfaction with the therapy but also in the avoidance
of necessary treatments, resulting in the deterioration of oral health. This can lead to negative impact on
a dentist's business, such as revenue loss, lower patient retention rates, and fewer referrals.
With this in mind, dentists are increasingly looking to fight the growing problem of dental anxiety by
creating a more calming waiting room environment — one that helps mitigate the negative impact
of dental anxiety on their business.
Enter atmosphere-Healthcare, a new turnkey visual platform with a clear clinical objective — that
of calming patients fears where it matters the most — in the waiting room.

The result is a wide range of patient and doctor benefits, including reduced patient stress levels, the
slowing down of patient pulse rates while stabilizing breathing, improved communication between
medical staff and patients, and less need for sedatives.
Using nature scenes to create a calming effect in a waiting room may not be new, but
atmosphere-Healthcare's approach is. The company utilizes proprietary 4K nature footage (shot at 96
FPS) and displayed in UHD 10-bit format at a slowed-down (30 FPS) pace. The result is a mesmerizing
and calming experience that can help dentists garner higher patient satisfaction scores and increased word
of mouth referrals, all while lowering the incidence of dental anxiety.
