Abstract
Hypnosis can be used to facilitate dental psychotherapy in resolving problems specific to the dental situation. Case histories are presented to illustrate the use of hypnosis in alleviating dentophobia and in the care and control of allergic responses. Formal induction procedures are not always necessary in achieving the desired result. Through the appropriate use of hypnosis, observable benefits can accrue to at least some dental patients in their ability to approach the dental situation and receive proper care.Keywords
