Hypnosis for Fear of the Dentist
With Dr. Cynthia Smith – Chiropractor, Acupuncturist, Hypnotherapist
Hello, I’m Dr. Cynthia Smith, and this is Intuitive Hypnotherapy. If you’ve ever wondered whether hypnosis, mindfulness, or meditation can help with your fear of the dentist, I can tell you—it absolutely can.
I know because I used to be a self-proclaimed “dental wuss.” For even a small filling, I’d need multiple shots just to get through the appointment. But once I learned hypnosis—and how to hypnotize myself—I practically slept through my last crown fitting.
For those who don’t know, a crown fitting involves filing down a tooth for quite a while (sorry if that’s triggering!). Yet during mine, I was completely aware, able to answer the dentist’s questions, and still in a profoundly relaxed state. The entire procedure took about an hour, and both my dentist and his assistant commented on how peaceful I seemed—which, in turn, helped them relax and give me better care.
I can teach you the same techniques. Whether it’s turning the whir of dental tools into the sound of birdsong or imagining a gentle cotton ball instead of pressure on your cheek, hypnosis can make your dental visits calm, comfortable, and even quick.
If you’d like to feel relaxed, stress-free, and confident at your next appointment, call Intuitive Hypnotherapy at 949-565-5015.
I’m here to help.
