Relaxing Hypnosis In Dental Care

The use of relaxing hypnosis in dentistry is divided into two categories: therapeutic and operative. The therapeutic use of hypnosis involves relaxing the patient. For instance, in order to overcome toothache problem, relaxing hypnosis helps eliminate the fears,and pains that help a patient feel good during a dental procedure and it also helps him to develop positive habits of personal dental care.

Relaxing hypnosis reduces the tension, nervousness, and anxiety about the pain that certain people have over the dentist, thereby enabling proper general dental care. Once the patient has been hypnotized, he is asked to imagine his favorite spot, a place where he always feels relaxed and happy. This can be a place like a garden, a beach or a river. You should imagine how your five senses would react to this place.

A post-hypnotic suggestion is given before the patient wakes up so that he can relax so deeply on the dentist’s chair. They are asked to close their eyes as they sit down on the chair, breathe deeply three times, then relax and enjoy their special place.

Surgical applications include relaxation and control of salivation and bleeding, prevention of asphyxia and nausea, reduction of postoperative inflammation, discomfort and shock, and promotion of postoperative healing and recovery.

In addition to relaxation, it may be possible to help patients who have a bad habit of strangling something every time they put something in their mouths. It’s a natural reaction to prevent suffocation, but some people have developed it so much that any dental work becomes impossible. With light hypnosis, patients can learn to effectively control this gag reflex.

Under deep hypnosis, a patient can make a region completely deaf and even have a tooth removed without feeling anything. Hypnosis can even be used with nitrous oxide to increase the effect and provide deeper relaxation.
