encountered a patient who, upon entering your office, already started sweating, becoming agitated, and having a racing heart?!<\/p>\n<p>Some start feeling this anxiety with the simple sound of the drill being turned on, right?!<\/p>\n<p>When these situations occur, you already know you have a challenge ahead because these behaviors greatly affect the outcome of your work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With stress, the person may feel more pain, have more bleeding, delay procedures, use more materials (anesthesia and analgesia), among other disadvantages.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cEverything that stress can worsen, hypnosis can help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>With hypnosis, it is possible to more practically access the patient and their emotions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can provide anything from a state of relaxation to the reframing of traumatic experiences, which indeed results in a reduction of the patient&#8217;s fear of your work.<\/p>\n<p>Hypnosis will be your ally to work with your patient in a calmer and more comfortable manner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>MAIN BENEFITS OF HYPNOSIS IN THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF THE DENTIST<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As explained earlier, hypnosis is a tool that can be used lightly and objectively, meaning it is very simple to apply, you just need to master it to use it in various situations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, hypnosis can be applied in the most different fields of dentistry.<\/p>\n<p>You won&#8217;t need to buy any additional materials or instruments to apply it, and furthermore, it can be used from the patient&#8217;s arrival to their departure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can use it for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stress reduction&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>As an alternative to anesthesia application<\/li>\n<li>Patient habit changes&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Higher treatment adherence\/return rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, there are endless applications of hypnosis as a resource within the office, you just need to allow yourself to use it within your clinical management repertoire, and of course, always respecting the limits of your professional field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HOW TO QUALIFY TO LEARN HYPNOSIS<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

recognized by various professional councils, and the Federal Council of Dentistry is one of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Brazil, the Federal Council of Dentistry was the first representative body of a professional category to recognize hypnosis as a clinical tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the resolution of the Federal Council of Dentistry, the following is described:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Art. 20. The responsibilities of the Hypnologist in Dentistry are:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>I \u2013 To treat and\/or control anxieties, fears, and phobias related to dental procedures and\/or psychosomatic conditions related to Dentistry;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>II \u2013 To condition the patient for the adoption of hygiene habits, adaptation to treatment, use of medications, dietary re-education, parafunctional habits, among others;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>III \u2013 To treat and control neuromuscular disorders and intervene on autonomic reflexes;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>IV \u2013 To prepare patients for surgeries, contributing to the improvement of the patient&#8217;s condition;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>V \u2013 To prepare patients to be attended by other professionals;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>VI \u2013 To act in adaptation and motivation directed to dental treatment;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>VII \u2013 To use hypnotic anesthesia in pertinent cases; and,&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>VIII \u2013 To use Hypnosis in other processes\/situations related to the field of activity of the dentist.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, within the required duties, the Federal Council of Dentistry demonstrates in its resolution that professionals must be qualified and have completed qualification courses with a minimum duration of 180 hours between theory and practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is necessary because unfortunately, there are many courses on the market with questionable training that do not satisfactorily qualify professionals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is important for you to know that there are currently several studies testing the applicability and effectiveness of hypnosis, so it is a serious tool that needs to be used correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many false promises of cures with hypnosis are offered on the market, so an institution that values science and ethical commitment is extremely necessary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All these guidelines serve as a guide for you to know how to evaluate which institution you will qualify with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian Society of Hypnosis has the following Quality Policy:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201c<em>To train, guide, and represent professionals who work with hypnosis, making the SBH a reference in science and profession concerning hypnosis, fulfilling all applicable legal requirements and good management practices, and continuously improving our quality management system with objectives that value our professional society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So, if you are in the field of dentistry and want to learn more about hypnosis, take one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hipnose.com.br\/cursos\/\">courses!<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"rop\"><small>Originally posted 2021-10-11 13:39:57. <\/small><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being a professional in the healthcare field requires constant updating.
