Clinical Hypnotherapy:
Dr. Chebbi is trained in clinical hypnotherapy by the EKAA Integrated Clinical Hypnotherapy Foundation. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful way to provide deep relaxation for dental anxiety and dental pain. During clinical hypnotherapy, you, the patient, are awake and in control of your bodily autonomy. Anxious patients may have higher pain sensitivity and reduced healing so relaxation can help for a more comfortable procedure with better outcomes. A relaxed mind is better able to heal and recover the body after a dental procedure compared with an anxious mind.
If you prefer, our doctors are also able to prescribe medication for anxiety relief before your appointment.
Please bring your handle me with care form to your appointment so that we may serve you better!
We are here to help and to help you feel safe. Thank you for choosing our practice, we look forward to serving you.
