About the PresentationClinical Hypnosis in Dentistry The dental profession is well-suited to clinical hypnosis. Within dentistry, hypnosis has both therapeutic and operative uses, including elimination of dental phobias and anxiety, adjustment of gag reflex, behaviour modification (such as thumb sucking/bruxism), control of hemorrhage, and control of salivary flow. Hypnosis has been endorsed for over 50 years as a basic standard patient care technique by the American Dental Association and by the Canadian Dental Association. A ‘light’ state of hypnosis is easy and quick to achieve, and is most commonly used in dentistry on a day-to-day basis to empower patients, eliminate anxiety, reduce gag reflex, control and reduce gingival bleeding during basic restorative procedures, and to reduce the isometric tensing of the muscles of the jaw and thereby to reduce tenderness of the jaw during and after appointments. Hypnotic techniques are especially effective for the pediatric patient, and can also be used in conjunction with inhalation sedation.About the Presenters
