Hypnosis is the quieting of the conscious mind. It is identified by a trance state. Trance is a state of mind in which our ordinary perception of the world outside is reduced and our attention is targeted on some activity, physical stimulus, image fantasy, thought or feeling. People enter this state each day when lost in thought or day dreaming, working out at the gymnasium, reading or listening to music. When someone is hypnotised, they are given a collection of instructions which help them in realizing the trance state. And it is now being utilized by dentists Prahran in general dental care.
Some applications of hypnosis in preventive dental care include controlling a powerful gag reflex, treating chronic facial pain and modifying habits like teeth grinding.
The use of hypnosis in dentistry falls into two categories: therapeutic and operative. The therapeutic use of hypnosis includes relaxing the patient, removing their anxieties, fears and pain, helping him remain comfortable throughout a dental procedure and developing positive habits of personal oral health care. Hypnosis can be used to help eliminate nail biting, thumb sucking, abnormal swallowing patterns and smoking. Operative uses include relaxation and the control of salivation and bleeding, the prevention of gagging and nausea, reduction of post operative swelling, discomfort and shock and promotion of post operative healing and recovery.
Hypnosis can help reduce the tension, nervousness and fear of pain that certain people have about the dentist and thus allow for proper general dental care. Once the patient has been hypnotized, he is asked to imagine his favourite place, a place that makes him always feel relaxed and happy. This might be a place such as a garden, a beach or a river. They are to imagine how their five senses would respond to this place.
The post hypnotic suggestion is given before awakening the patient that they will be in a position to relax as deeply as this once they are seated in the dental chair. They're asked to shut their eyes when they sit in the chair, take 3 deep breaths and then they're going to be able to relax and enjoy their special place. Aside from mere relaxation, it may be possible to help patients who have got the unlucky habit of gagging each time something is placed in their mouth. It is a natural reaction to stop choking but some of us have this so extremely developed that any dental work becomes impossible. With light hypnosis, patients can learn to control this gagging reflex.
Under deep hypnosis, a patient can make an area feel totally numb and actually have a tooth extracted without feeling anything. Hypnosis can actually be used in association with nitrous oxide ( giggling gas ) to improve the effect and provide deeper relaxation.
It is important for the dentist Melbourne to assert things which are positive, supportive and soothing while the patient is being put under hypnosis. He must try hard not to joke around, as general dental care is stressful for many individuals. It is important for him to be caring. When patients feel accepted and valued, they see the dentist as being competent, warm and caring and consequently become even more relaxed. Hypnosis is a wonderful methodology for pain-free dentistry which can help anxious patients immensely.
