Find out more about smoking  

Smoking  can seriously affect your oral health. Here are some important points:

1. Gum Issues: Smoking increases the chance of gum disease, which harms the bone supporting your teeth.

2. Tooth Problems: Tobacco chemicals can weaken tooth enamel, making cavities more likely and leading to tooth loss.

3. Oral Cancer: Smoking is a big risk for different oral cancers, including those in the mouth, throat, and tongue.

4. Slow Healing: Smokers may face slow healing after dental procedures like tooth removal, due to tobacco`s chemicals restricting blood flow and tissue repair.

5. Other Effects: Smoking can cause stained teeth, bad breath, and whitening of mouth tissues (smoker’s keratosis).

Hypnosis is a technique that promotes deep relaxation and focus, enabling the modification of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. With a history spanning centuries, it has proven effective for various purposes, including addressing smoking addiction. A 2021 study showed that 86% of participants ceased smoking after six months of trying hypnosis.

In sessions aimed at using hypnosis to quit smoking, a skilled hypnotherapist employs verbal guidance to lead individuals into a highly focused and relaxed state. They then provide suggestions tailored to specific goals. For example, these suggestions might aim to alter perceptions of smoking while in a state of deep focus.
