At The Center For Holistic Dentistry, we’re focused on making your dental visit comfortable for you.

Read on to learn more about sedation dentistry and NuCalm near Mount Kisco, NY.
Creating a Peaceful Atmosphere
At the beginning of your appointment, we make you feel comfortable by listening to your needs and creating a calm atmosphere. Once you’re relaxed, dental anesthetics work better and your gag reflex is diminished. This is why we offer a range of sedation and comfort options including:
Novocain
A local anesthetic medication that numbs the tooth that’s being treated.
Oral Sedation
A great choice for dental anxiety, difficulty getting numb, or a strong gag reflex. We will prescribe a medication for you to take before your appointment. Just take your pill with a glass of water and before you know it, you will be relaxed and ready for your dental appointment.
Nitrous Oxide Therapy
If you’re not interested in sedation dentistry, but need a little help relaxing, Nitrous oxide takes is gentle and effect quickly. As soon as the gas is turned off, you will begin regaining clarity and function immediately.
Acupuncture Treatments
For thousands of years, acupuncture has been used for the relief of pain and anxiety. It works with the body’s own pain control mechanisms, stimulating the release of endorphins which block the pain signals in the brain. It’s so effective that some patients prefer acupuncture over a local anesthetic. Many patients prefer a local anesthetic with acupuncture used as an adjunct. While others choose acupuncture in combination with nitrous oxide and/or oral sedation.
Dr. Lerner shares why he screens every patient for chemical sensitivities and how we all have unique needs according to our individual makeup.
The Deep & Natural Relaxation System of NuCalm
As a holistic dental practice, we avoid the use of chemicals and prescription drugs at all costs. If there’s a more natural way to achieve the same results, we think your body will be better off in the long run in its more natural state. We do offer different types of sedation and stand by their use and effectiveness. However, we are happy to offer holistic options to help you relax in the chair with NuCalm deep relaxation technology.
What Is NuCalm?
NuCalm is a patented, all-natural stress management technology used to decrease stress and improve your sleep – without prescription drugs. NuCalm stimulates deep relaxation by mimicking the patterns your brain recognizes for relaxation. NuCalm quickly and safely “flips the switch” on stress so your body can relax, heal, and rejuvenate.
How Does NuCalm work?
NuCalm is an effective, sedative-free, four-step system that is administered at the beginning of your appointment. It takes just a few minutes to get started, and you will quickly begin to breathe deeper, your body will feel heavier, your mind will quiet, and you will drift into a waking dream-like state of deep relaxation.
NuCalm helps you relax during treatment while balancing your mind and body for a more peaceful state. NuCalm allows you to get the dental care you need, comfortably. You’ll even be able to drive yourself home afterward feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, not groggy and confused.
4 Steps to Zen
