Hypnosis
A skilled hypnotist and an experienced dental surgeon
have been shown to produce good results with dental phobics.
The dental treatment may be preceded by one or more
hypnotherapy sessions and sometimes the hypnotist can accompagny
the patient at their dental appointments.
Although often effective it must be remembered that
different people respond to different degrees under hypnosis.
This is a not field widly practised in the U.K. and
you may have difficulty finding either a dentist or hypnotherapist
with the relevant experience.
Sometimes the hypnotherapy may be performed by the
dentist him/herself
Another important consideration is cost. The patient
will be paying for the services of two professionals and as hypnotherapy
at the treatment appointment is very time intensive the dental
treatment can become quite expensive.
