Dental Office Massage Therapy

Chair massage in a dental office? Yes, dentists are now beginning to realize that dental office massage therapy prior to significant work performed by the dentist tends to calm nervous patients.

My dentist now provides spa services in his office. He contracts with spa workers to come in a few times a week. It is a great service for his patients.

Dentists are discovering what we have known all along--that massage relaxes and soothes. Less analgesia is used after a pre-dental massage and that is good for the patient and the dentist. Less stress all around. (Just to clarify--analgesia is great stuff. Once when I had a wisdom tooth pulled, I let my dentist give me analgesia for the first time and it was wonderful! My terror quickly subsided and I felt no pain at all until after I got home.)

You can approach busy offices and see if they would like to hire a massage therapist or contract with one to massage their patients prior to treatment.

Medical doctors, chiropractors, and physical therapists are also now turning to massage therapists to provide relaxing and pain-relieving massage. As the profession of massage therapists grows, its popularity across the country and the world will grow and more and more healthcare professionals will have massage therapists on staff, providing massage for a variety of reasons, including massage therapy in the dental office to relax the patient.
