Hypnosis in Dentistry

This course is based on twenty-five years of experience as a master hypnotist in the field of dentistry. You will learn several induction techniques and be able to place your patients in a hypnotic trance while they are undergoing dental treatment.
This does not replace the anesthetic the patient would normally receive. Many techniques in dentistry can be preformed without the benefit of anesthetic. This will hold true with the hypnosis as well, because the patient will be completely relaxed for the procedure. If you touch a live nerve, the patient will react in the same way with, or without, anesthetic.

A patient with a clenching problem (clenches his teeth), causing severe pain and loss of alveolar bone, can use hypnosis to remove the pain and change the clenching cycle. Instead of allowing the clenching to destroy tooth structure and the surrounding soft tissue, hypnosis can be used to shift the point of tension to a less destructive area (pressing two fingers together.)

It will allow you to give a painless injection, as described in the painless injection course that uses a hypnosis technique in the procedure. The hypnosis technique is very beneficial for the apprehensive patient, especially if the patient is on the verge of fainting. A direct hypnotic approach can be very effective in bringing a patient out of a fainting episode.

Hypnosis is the technique of directing a patient’s focus. When we drive our automobile, we are in a state of hypnosis. When we watch television, or see a play, we are in a state of hypnosis. Whenever we direct our focus (attention), we are in a state of hypnosis. Some of us are better then others in this ability.

Some of us are completely absorbed in the football game that we cannot hear our wives talking to us. Our emotions come into play, taking us into the game. We become part of the game. We are in the game. We see each crunch our hero is taking while our wives patiently wait for the game to end. Yes, you are in a state of hypnosis during that episode of the game. It is only the half time commercials that bring us back out of our trance. For some of us, this does not happen then.

Hypnosis is putting a name to something that occurs naturally, every day of our lives. We are in a natural state of hypnosis. We allow others to direct our focus and take control of our emotions and thoughts every day without realizing we are being controlled by a hypnotic suggestion, or condition.
