The term “hypnodontics” describes the application of hypnosis in
dentistry. It was introduced some decades ago in the US. As the term
appears to cause confusion, experts also use the term “dental hypnosis“.
Dental Tribune ONLINE spoke to Dr John Butler, one of the
founders of the Institute of Hypnotherapy for Medical and Dental
Practice (IHMDP) in London, where medical and dental professionals can
learn to apply hypnosis in their practice and members of the public are
provided with information about how hypnosis could help them during
treatment.
