The University of Southern California’s Dental School is teaching their dental students another method of pain management: hypnosis. Dr. Peter Stone has been teaching the method since 1981 and says the technique can help with gagging, bleeding and breathing problems. He states:
“In the average patient, we can teach them to relax and control their fears 90 percent of the time—in a small group of patients hypnosis allows them to control pain, bleeding or salivation during a procedure or speed up recovery time”
Anything to help our patients get through the procedure with less discomfort. And it gave me an excuse to use that cool picture.

As a Nurse Anesthetist and a clinical hypnotherapist with an emphasis in medical hypnosis application, I was really pleased to learn that hypnosis is actually now being taught in dental schools.
It is our thought than influence our physical reactions. Get in control of your thoughts and you are way ahead of the game whether in the doctors or dentists office.
