Dental treatment under hypnosis

Dental treatment under hypnosis is a process in which the patient is put into a state of deep relaxation and concentration. In this way, it is possible to minimise the sensation of pain and eliminate the fear of the procedure. In a state of hypnosis, the patient retains full awareness and control of his or her body, but is more relaxed and open to suggestions, which facilitates dental procedures.

Hypnosis in dentistry has a wide range of applications, particularly for patients suffering from dentophobia, a strong fear of the dentist. It is also effective in cases where traditional methods of anaesthesia are insufficient or inadvisable. In addition, dental treatment under hypnosis can be helpful in controlling the vomiting reflex, which is particularly important during longer and more complicated procedures.

The process of dental treatment under hypnosis in Lodz begins with a consultation, during which the dentist assesses the patient’s condition and discusses expectations and any concerns. The patient is then put into a hypnotic state by a qualified specialist before the actual treatment begins. During the treatment, the patient can experience deep relaxation, which significantly reduces the sensation of pain and tension. Once the treatment is complete, the patient awakens from hypnosis naturally and safely, usually with a sense of relief and relaxation.

Dental treatment under hypnosis has many benefits, both for the patient and the dentist. First and foremost, hypnosis in dentistry allows treatments to be carried out in a more comfortable environment, making treatment more effective. Patients who have used this method often report that their fears of future visits to the dentist have been significantly reduced.

Additionally, dental treatment under hypnosis can reduce the duration of treatments, as a relaxed patient is more cooperative and less anxious. Hypnosis also reduces the use of painkillers and anaesthetics, which is beneficial to the patient’s health.
