NuCalm® Makes Dentistry Better!


Nearly everyone’s heart rate goes up a little before a visit to the dentist. We get it. But for many people, feelings of worry can lead to canceled appointments and lost opportunities to improve their dental health.

If you suffer from dental anxiety (even just a little) you might be hesitant to try medical sedation dentistry options. But fortunately, there’s a completely natural and holistic form of sedation available at Greater Long Island Dental in Massapequa.

Even if you don’t consider yourself “dental-phobic,” we’ll offer to let you try NuCalm®. It’s easy, natural, and can make your trip to our office more relaxing than you thought possible.

NuCalm® is a 3-step holistic system backed by neuroscience research that helps put your mind at ease and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Let us show you what NuCalm® is all about at your next appointment!


Dr. Backer is a mercury-free holistic dentist who helps patients discover the best path towards dental health and total body wellness.

The NuCalm® System of Holistic Sedation


  1. You’ll wear a light-blocking mask to prevent distraction and visual stimulation
  2. Microcurrent stimulation patches soothe your brain waves
  3. Noise-canceling headphones with personalized sounds induce deep relaxation

In as little as 3 minutes you’ll begin to feel calmer. The best part of NuCalm is that it’s natural and won’t leave you feeling “groggy” or “out of it” after your appointment.

NuCalm aids in relaxation and improves your mental state. Our dentists use it in concert with local anesthesia which numbs your mouth to keep you from feeling pain during your treatment.


We’ll Help You Feel Your Best


Our approach to sedation dentistry is tailored to your needs. If you need a little more help to relax before treatment we offer nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas. It acts quickly, is extremely effective, and has very few side effects.

If you’ll be in our office for a longer procedure, ask your dentist about general anesthesia. We’ll bring in an anesthesiologist to oversee your care.

We will work to find a way to help you feel confident and comfortable during your visit to our office. While NuCalm® is a great first choice, we are confident we have a sedation option that will help you. 

You’ll never be judged at Greater Long Island Dental. We’re thrilled you’ve chosen us as your dental team and we’ll do what it takes to help you get the care you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is NuCalm® FDA approved?

The NuCalm® holistic sedation system is fully FDA approved. Research has shown that NuCalm® can be used to reduce anxiety and pain before and during a variety of dental treatments.

Is NuCalm® better than nitrous oxide or other methods of sedation?

Everybody’s different when it comes to feeling comfortable and relaxed at the dentist. There’s no one-size-fits-all “best” solution. Instead, your dentists will discuss all available sedation options with you, including NuCalm®, to find the right solution for you.

Is holistic sedation the safest form of sedation dentistry?

We take great pride in offering safe sedation dentistry in Massapequa. NuCalm® is very safe because there are no medications and it solely relies on helping your brain waves enter a state of relaxation. There are no side effects, you may schedule your reservations without anyone accompanying you for transportation, and it wears off quickly.

Is NuCalm® right for me?

NuCalm® can make everyone’s dental visits a better, more relaxing, and more enjoyable experience. NuCalm® is particularly beneficial for anyone who feels anxiety or fear before a dental appointment. Let us know if you’re interested and we’ll let you try out the NuCalm® system at your next appointment.

Why does NuCalm® work?

Every emotion you feel, from happiness to sadness, fear to delight, starts deep inside your brain. By using NuCalm® to stimulate your brain activity, we can actually help to create more positive feelings and avoid feelings of anxiety and fear.
