Pleasant, painless dental treatment—
Panic at the dentist makes treatment impossible. A hypnosis helps, but is not suitable for everyone. One way out of this vicious cycle of dental fear is hypnosis. If a patient can be hypnotized, the treatment proceeds much more relaxed and the dentist can work better. A prolonged dental treatment, turns into a pain-free, pleasant and time-condensed experience thanks to the dental treatment under hypnosis. Feel free to call us, to find out more.
The modern clinical hypnosis is a scientifically developed method with the goal to enable the patient for dental treatment by puting him into a relaxed "trance". In this situation the external perception is "turned off". The conversation contact remains consistent, anxiety and the perception of pain, however, is reduced. The patient feels well and pleasantly relaxed during dental treatment. Physically this is manifested by a calm pulse, low blood pressure, a deep abdominal breathing and relaxed muscles. The condition is similar to "daydreaming".
Hypnosis at the dentist is also suitable as an alternative to general anesthesia in patients with severe dental phobia / dental fear, extreme gag reflex or allergy to local anesthetics. Requirements for hypnosis are a trusting relationship between hypnotist and patient, mental health, imagination and language comprehension. Thus anxious patients with negative perceptions of dental treatment are well suited for treatment with hypnosis. Children get into trance very easily.
Unlike hypnosis treatment, where the thoughts are directed away from the treatment, dental treatment can be performed under general anesthesia. Aside from the risks, side effects and costs of general anesthesia there is no learning effect that occurs, as in hypnosis.
Since most patients lose their fears and can dispense more hypnosis sessions due to the positive treatment experience under hypnosis. The fear of the dentist is then usually blown away. So initially anxious children and adults love to come again.
By the way.... modern dental hypnosis has nothing in common with the so-called show hypnosis! In hypnosis, statements and actions against your own will are not possible. The dental hypnotherapists are obliged only to use hypnosis for the benefit of the patient and to have their own behavior supervised.
