What does acupuncture involve?

When you arrive at our dental spa, we ask you to fill out a simple form, giving details of your daily life and overall well-being. This helps us get a better understanding of your needs in order to provide the best treatment.

During your personalised consultation in our relaxed and calm room, we listen to your concerns and anxieties relating to dental treatment. We make sure acupuncture is suitable for you and determine the best places for ultra fine needles to be administered for optimal results.

Acupuncture is designed to rebalance your body’s energy and promote relaxation. We gently insert the thin needles into the carefully planned points on your head or body, helping to reduce your dental anxiety. You can then go into your dental treatment feeling much more relaxed and in control.
