Abstract: A method of treating a dental patient includes performing a dental procedure, conducting muscle response testing for identifying a location for treatment, placing a magnetic device over the location identified during the muscle response testing, and aligning the magnetic device over the location for influencing energy flow in the patient. The magnetic device includes a set of four magnetic discs arranged in an array including two having negative magnetic poles lying in a first plane and two having positive magnetic poles lying in the first plane. The two magnetic discs having negative magnetic poles extend along a first diagonal line and the two magnetic discs having positive magnetic poles extend along a second diagonal line that crosses the first diagonal line. A housing for maintaining the magnetic discs in the array has an alignment marker for aligning the magnetic device on the dental patient.
