Dental Hypnosis

According to the British Psychological Counsel - 2001

There is convincing evidence that hypnotic procedures are effective in the management and relief of both acute and chronic pain and in assisting in the alleviation of pain, discomfort and distress due to medical and dental procedures and childbirth.

It was used extensively prior to the 19th century and the development of chemical anesthetics during dental procedures.
Today, using the techniques for relieving anxiety, increasing comfort during procedures and in aiding the healing process are just a few applications.

Learn to decrease your anxiety prior to treatment

Create for yourself the health benefits of the relaxation response.

* Lower the byproducts of stress

* Decrease heart rate and respiration

* Lower blood pressure

* All by using your breath

You can also accelerate your own healing potential after the procedure is complete.

As a member of The International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA) I work along their objective, which is to decrease stress allowing the body to focus on the natural healing course.

I am also featured in an article written in Doctor of Dentistry magazine that talks more about this.
