The most effective way to calm patients is to entertain (or distract) them.

Since their introduction in 1996, HMDs (Head Mounted Displays) have established themselves as the premier patient distraction and entertainment system within the dental industry. The reason for this is simple; HMDs are the only video entertainment device that can both immerse and focus the patient's attention away from the procedures being performed. The patented optical design and high resolution micro-display technology combine to deliver a giant screen image with superb clarity. Thousands of dentists, hygienists, doctors and nurses are using our head mounted display systems. For the ultimate in Patient Distraction and Video Entertainment try the V-Real Viewer or the i-vision Hi-Res.

"I just used the V-Real Viewer in my dental office and it works great, all the patients love it. My patients get to watch our selection of DVDs while I work on their teeth. I also connect it to our intraoral cameras to show details to our patients"

The American Dental Association recently performed a study on the beneficial effects of head mounted displays on dental patients:

The results of their study were as follows: "Subjects reported less anxiety and discomfort when using the A/V eyeglass system than when they did not. Most subjects preferred to use the A/V equipment rather than receive traditional treatment. The clinician experienced no significant technical interference during the use of the A/V device. The use of the A/V eyeglasses led to decreased treatment time in the first one-half of the procedure. The system appeared to lead to some decreases in the physiological parameters over the course of treatment, with the highest systolic blood pressure occurring after the condition with no use of A/V eyeglasses."
