Hypnosis in the Dental Office
Here is a portion of the article regarding the use of hypnosis in a dental office in England:
"Graham often uses the following technique for his dental patients, once they are hypnotised.He asks them to imagine they have placed their hand in a bucket of ice until the hand goes numb.Once the patient feels ready, the hand is tested by being pinched or having a needle inserted into it to make sure it really is numb.The patient is then asked to touch the relevant part of their face, to transfer the numbness to that areaGraham then carries out the dental work as if the patient had been anaesthetised."
