Hypnodontia – You may have been avoiding going to the dentist for a long time and you know there are some dental issues that will need to be dealt with eventually, or it may be that you do go, but that it is a nightmare for you. Just making an appointment causing your heart to pound, and then dreading the day, counting the hours. But, it really doesn’t need to be this way.
Fear of the dentist can prevent a person from getting the treatment they need in order to maintain good oral health. This can have serious consequences, affecting the ability to properly chew food, which in turn can impact on other areas of health. Many people with a fear of the dentist avoid dental visits and the result is decayed teeth, gum disease, mouth abscesses, bad breath and terrible pain – not to mention the loss of a great smile. Without good oral health, speech can also be affected.
Hypnosis can help – and the reason hypnosis is a good treatment for this is that these reactions you experience, they are not choices, you are not consciously choosing to feel and react this way, it is happening automatically because a fear like this gets stuck in your memory and you enact the anxious reactions repeatedly, every time you face it, or think about it. Hypnotherapy addresses the automatic subconscious part of your mind and encourages change to happen. It is rather like the fear is a program running automatically in your mind, and the hypnosis is aimed at changing that program and allowing you to experience things differently, to break the connections and to free yourself.
If you suffer from fear of the dentist, dental phobia, or dental anxiety, there really is something you can do about it. You really don’t need to continue in this useless imaginary fear. Modern hypnosis can alleviate and permanently remove dental phobia and fear of dentists.
