Summary

This study tested whether smelling lavender essential oil or listening to classical music for 5 minutes before wisdom tooth extraction could reduce anxiety. 102 adults with moderate to severe dental anxiety took part. Researchers measured anxiety levels, heart rate, blood pressure, and pain to see if these simple, drug-free methods help.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
lavender essential oil (aromatherapy) and music therapy (Rachmaninoff symphony)
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple, drug-free approaches could offer a way to manage dental anxiety without medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial. The results may not apply to everyone, and the effect might be modest or no better than standard care.
