People often think of hypnosis for things such as stopping smoking, reducing weight and for habit changes, like nail biting. Some even think of it for medical things like pain control, but hypnosis can also be used for many other health issues, including dental.

Dental hypnosis addresses issues like TMJ, tooth grinding, jaw clenching, fear of the dentist and/or needles, pre- and post-surgical, accelerated healing and pain management. In addition, it can help instill better dental health habits.

Many people don’t realize that good dental health actually contributes to other aspects of one’s overall well-being. A tooth or gum issue is sometimes a clue that another part of the body may be suffering or influencing it in some way. Just like a chiropractor can connect certain areas of the spine to organs and issues at hand, many believe teeth can do the same thing.

Sometimes there are metaphysical and subconscious factors involved as well. Hypnosis is a quick, easy and often fun way to get results.
