Anxiety reducing weighted blanket, Pediatric 7lb Create a calming sanctuary on your dental chair for your patients with DentaCalm™ weighted blankets. If you treat nervous or special needs patients, a weighted blanket will greatly improve their sense of comfort. DentaCalm™ weighted blankets have been proven to reduce anxiety, to calm and to reassure. Weighted blankets apply deep touch pressure to muscles and joints, so that a sensory input signals the brain to release serotonin. This encourages a release of natural melatonin, which leads to feelings of relaxation and reduced anxiety. DentaCalm™ weighted blankets apply soothing compression to the body, mimicking the feeling of being hugged or held. DentaCalm™ blankets are made with medical-grade, water-resistant woven nylon fabric. They can be wiped clean with pre-saturated disinfectant wipes (e.g., CaviWipes™) or thrown into a front-loading washing machine. And they conform to disinfectant protocols for multi-patient use environments.
