Dental treatment with hypnosis

Who doesn’t know them: The fear of the dentist. Hypnosis can help here. It eases fears and calms down. Hypnosis is a technique of deep trance and inner calm. It is therefore certainly a helpful tool, especially in dentistry.

In the past, hypnosis was equated with sleep. In Greek mythology, Hypnos was the god of sleep. However, hypnosis and sleep are different states of consciousness. In contrast to hypnosis, the reflex intensity during sleep is significantly reduced. A sleeping person is usually not aware of their condition. This is extremely rare in hypnosis (spontaneous amnesia). In my practice, I have only seen one case in which a patient could not remember ever smoking after quitting smoking.
