Hypnosis has the ability to relax and reassure those who are fearful of the dentist. Regular visits to the dentist are an important part of your overall health plan. Yet, some people are so afraid of the dentist it can turn a routine checkup into a nightmare filled with stress and anxiety. This can lead to more serious health problems and even more stress about a visit to the dentist.
Through hypnosis, those with a fear of normal dental procedures can learn to overcome the fear and turn the anxiety into relaxation. Hypnosis specifically targets the part of the mind that holds on to irrational or unexplained fears. Rarely has anyone come away from the dentist with more than a little discomfort. The fears therefore, are usually unsubstantiated and therefore easily removed with hypnosis.
Visualization is another part of the suggestive power of hypnosis. After becoming completely relaxed in the beginning stages of hypnosis, the listener is lead to visualize the situation of which they are fearful with them at the center of it. Then, reassuring and relaxing messages can be put in place of fears. The vision stays with the listener as they go from the imagined scenario to the reality of sitting in the dentist’s chair.
Steve G. Jones is a clinical hypnotherapist who has developed a program just for those who fear the dentist. “Overcome Fear of Dental Procedures,” uses hypnosis to first relax and then reassure those who are facing dental procedures with anxiety and fear. In just three weeks, a new prospective on the dentist can be had through hypnosis.
