You may have anxiety associated with going to the dentist or with medical procedures such as exams, treatments, and surgery. Nervous energy you bring to a procedure can make it feel all the more difficult or painful. Anxiety can sometimes increase complications during a procedure and lengthen recovery times after.

​

While drugs are often used to treat anxiety and pain, they may not always be the appropriate route to take as they can have their own side-effects and complications.

​

Hypnosis offers a natural way to reduce anxiety before, during, and after medical procedures. It can be used to reduce pain in conjunction with drugs or, in some cases, in place of them. The reduction in anxiety afforded by hypnosis can increase the effectiveness of procedures, reduce complications, speed healing, and improve outcomes.
