What is Dental Anxiety?

Dental Anxiety is a fear or stress related to dental visits, causing some people to delay or avoid dental treatment. It can be triggered by needles, drills, or the dental setting. Severe dental anxiety, or dental phobia, can lead to worsening dental disease due to avoidance of the dentist. Symptoms include sweating, racing heartbeat, and visible distress.

Avoiding dental visits due to fear can lead to the deterioration of dental health, an increased necessity for urgent care, or more intricate and complex procedures. Routine dental examinations, cleanings, and X-rays can avert oral diseases and assist the dentist in detecting any issues promptly.

The role of Hypnosis:

Fostering Self-Confidence: Through hypnosis, suggestions are employed to enhance self-belief and instill a sense of empowerment.

Overcoming Needle Anxiety/Phobia: For those who experience anxiety related to needles, hypnosis can prove to be highly effective, complementing systematic needle desensitization techniques. 

Serenity: Utilizing natural techniques, hypnosis combines relaxation and subconscious suggestion to induce a tranquil state in both body and mind.

Non-Sedative Option: Hypnosis can serve as a valuable alternative when other anxiety management approaches, such as sedative medications or sleep dentistry, are not preferred or deemed suitable.
