Proven Techniques!

Our methods are backed by research and have been proven effective in reducing dental anxiety and enhancing comfort during dental treatments.

Research indicates that hypnosis is effective for managing pain and dental anxiety. Additionally, it can enhance patient compliance with orthodontic appliance use (Trakyali et al., 2008) and reduce salivary flow during dental procedures (Saltz et al., 2014).

Light hypnosis is adequate to relax patients and alleviate the anxiety of dental patients whose pain thresholds are lowered by negative emotions.

Hypnotherapy is reportedly effective for up to 80% of people.

Managing a strong gag reflex, often seen as a panic response due to severe dental anxiety, follows a similar rationale.
