HYPNOSIS & DENTRISTRY


HYPNOSIS & DENTRISTRY

Anxiety about dental treatment is extremely common, and studies have noted that anywhere from 46% to 75% of the general population suffers from dental anxiety, while 6 - 14% of the population never goes to the dentist because of fear.
Among those who do not visit dentists regularly, 90% report that the reason is dental fear. If you are nervous about going to the dentist you are normal. Issues may include the fear of losing control, a negative past experience, fear of choking, and the list goes on.
Most dentists are acutely aware of the fact that there is a powerful relation between the mind and body. Hypnosis is a valuable technique in patient management.
With appropriate training, general dental practitioners can widen the treatment options they can offer to patients, especially those who are dentally anxious. Also is a useful tool in reducing the patient’s precipitous level of fear and pain.
This trance phenomenon is very effective in creating an experience of Analgesia or Anesthesia to augment painless dental extraction, while maintaining minimal blood loss.
So here are many uses of hypnosis in Dentistry;
Obtaining relaxation
Ensuring co-operation
Reduction of anxiety and fear
Production of analgesia
Production of amnesia
Control of fainting
Control of bleeding
Control of salivation Toleration of impression taking without gagging or sickness
