Create a calm environment for your pediatric patients with a DentaCalm weighted blanket. If you treat nervous or special needs patients, a weighted blanket improves their sense of comfort. They are proven to reduce anxiety, to calm, and to reassure patients.
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.

Practices running three or more operatories standardize on products like the DentaCalm Pediatric Weighted Blanket because consistency across rooms matters more than saving a few dollars per unit. At 28" x 32, it fits standard configurations without modification or adapter hardware. For offices that track exam & hygiene spend by vendor, DentaCalm products tend to deliver lower total cost of ownership when factoring in consistency and fewer returns.
