Relieve Dental Anxiety Without Drugs
Dental anxiety affects up to 20% of Americans, causing many to delay or avoid visits altogether. From routine cleanings to complex procedures, it’s common for patients to feel uneasy in the dental chair. While medication can help manage this anxiety, there’s also a safe, drug-free alternative that delivers proven results.
Alpha-Stim is a clinically studied solution for dental anxiety, offering patients a calming experience without the use of pharmaceuticals. In fact, research focused specifically on dental settings shows that patients using Alpha-Stim reported an average 61% reduction in anxiety during procedures.
Alpha Stim Eases Dental Anxiety Drug Free
Alpha-Stim is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive medical device that provides fast, effective relief from anxiety—without the need for medication. Compact and easy to use, it fits in the palm of your hand, with ear clips no larger than standard earbuds. This allows patients to experience calm and comfort during their visit, without disrupting your workflow or procedures.
Your patients understand the importance of maintaining their oral health—but anxiety can often stand in the way. By incorporating Alpha-Stim into your practice, you can offer a more relaxing, stress-free experience that helps patients feel at ease and more likely to keep up with regular care.

Alpha-Stim versus Nitrous
While nitrous oxide is a well-known option for managing dental anxiety, Alpha-Stim offers a modern, drug-free alternative that’s just as effective—and even more versatile. Though it may be new to you or your patients, Alpha-Stim is backed by decades of use and supported by over 100 clinical studies demonstrating its safety and efficacy.
Unlike nitrous, Alpha-Stim is compact, non-invasive, and leaves patients feeling calm without lingering side effects. Add it to your practice and discover the difference it can make in patient comfort and satisfaction. You’ll not only help reduce anxiety—you’ll give your patients another reason to smile.
