Relieving Dental Anxiety

Anxiety about dental treatment is extremely common, and studies have noted that anywhere from 46% to 75% of the general population suffers from dental anxiety, while from 6% to 14% of the population never goes to the dentist because of fear.

Among those who do not visit dentists regularly, 90% report that the reason is dental fear. If you are nervous about going to the dentist you are normal. Issues may include the fear of losing control, a negative past experience, fear of choking, and other concerns.

Hypnosis Can Help You Overcome Your Fears

Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are well-suited for relieving dental anxiety. Most people can use hypnosis to relax their body and mind, to focus their mind on positive or safe and comfortable images, to create numbness in selected parts of the body, to go away to a safe place, and to speed the healing process.

Most people can learn how to put themselves into a light or moderate trance state. They can learn to do this anywhere, including the dentist's office, and with a little effort they can learn to do some powerful things in just a couple of weeks of practice.

The trick is to experiment with trance on your own first, so that you can become competent and confident with hypnosis and its benefits. Use this CD to get started and practice for a couple of weeks at home until you feel that you can take your trance skills to the dentist's office.
