by Mark BarrusMark BarrusPosted on Posted in stress

(NBC) – There is a new way to relieve anxiety about going under the dentist’s drill, and it doesn’t involve needles or prescription drugs.

Dentists hope a new procedure called Nu-Calm will get patients who stay away from their offices for years back into their chairs.
