Dentists have been using hypnosis, relaxation, and direct suggestion for decades with excellent success. Our goal at Indy Hypnosis Center is to empower you with practical tools that will help your patients experience greater relief. Most dental practices have 60-70% of their patients clenching and grinding, which often damages the work you do. Other patients damage dental work from sucking on cigarettes or from smoking in general.

Hypnosis can help you manage and cure bad habits that are reversing the work of your dentist. Hypnosis can help with your trip to the dentist as well. Novocaine is popular among dentists and works well for pain management, but some patients cannot tolerate this drug. Self hypnosis can be taught to those patients. It’s also extremely effective for patients of any age who are afraid of the dental chair.

Hypnosis and Its Application to Dentistry For over a century, hypnosis has been used as an effective method for the treatment of many issues in medicine and dentistry. In the field of orofacial pain, we are faced with issues whose etiology can often be profoundly puzzling.  From Bruxism and Gagging to TMD and Migraine, Hypnotherapy has been time tested and scientifically proven to be an effective adjunct to traditional therapy. We can now effectively decrease anxiety, improve communication and rapport, diminish pain and improve treatment compliance.  Attendees will learn the art of hypnotherapy from simple induction techniques, to deepening procedures through suggestion methods. Each attendee will receive hands-on training, personally experience the state of hypnosis, and how to help others experience it.

Hypnosis to Cure Fear of the Dentist

Many people have great fears related to going to the dentist, sitting in the dental chair, having their teeth cleaned, getting a shot, hearing, smelling and feeling the drilling and filling of their teeth. Some of these fears may be well founded from painful past experiences, but, some times the sources of these fears are unrelated to actual dental experiences or incidences.
No matter what the cause, the feelings of panic and fear can be a very real visceral experience for that person. For some people just reading that first paragraph may have been a difficult experience, bringing up stressful feelings and memories. The  ability to cause an emotional response and relaxation through the use of words is what Hypnosis is based on. If Hypnosis or HypnoTherapy is able to cause negative feelings, then know that it can also cause positive reactions as well.

The ability to refocus the mind and therefore refocus the experience to a positive result, to meditate on a pleasant thought, sight, smell, or sound can completely change the anticipation of an activity from one of fear and stress to one of pleasure and relaxation. This is true for almost any event in your life.

For example, your experience of anticipation when going to a horror film will be completely different from your experience of anticipation of going to a comedy film. Your anticipation and expectation of the event, colors your experience of that event. With the help of a hypnotherapist, your experience of going to the dentist can be a pleasant, safe and rewarding visit.

From http://www.hambrockholistichealing.co/hypnosisfordentistry.htm &urrent research has found neurophysiological evidence to support the use of hypnosis, and it has been successfully used in various fields of practice. No single indicator can prove the phenomenon and its effectiveness is the result of a complex set of procedures. Hypnosis as it is known today can serve as an alternative conjunctive treatment for certain individuals under certain conditions.

IS HYPNOSIS AN APPROPRIATE CONJUNCTIVE TREATMENT FOR DENTAL PHOBIA?

visit doctors, especially dentists. Often negative previous experiences coupled with low pain tolerances and fear can lead to avoidance and phobias. Dental procedures are important beyond the concept of maintaining clean and straight teeth. Dentists and hygienists may detect cancers and other disorders of the tissue in and around the mouth. Dental decay can lead to blood infections, bad breath and a whole host of negative symptoms. If a patient has developed a phobia of dental procedures, convincing him or her to undergo treatment may be next to impossible. In most modern cases patients with such phobias are sedated by some chemical form, usually a nitrous oxide gas. The use of sedatives can be costly, invasive, and may carry a risk of interactions and side effects. Concerns of drug side effects may lead many patients and physicians to consider alternative treatments.

From http://www.sdstate.edu/jur/2008/upload/Hypnosis.pdf Some applications of hypnosis in dentistry include controlling a strong gag reflex, treating chronic facial pain, modification of unwanted habits such as teeth grinding, and much more.
