MONTREAL, Canada: Hypnosis, long associated with stage performances and entertainment, is drawing attention for its clinical applications in the field of dentistry. As the demand for more comfortable and non-invasive ways to manage anxiety and pain during dental treatment grows, interest in complementary approaches is increasing. A recent narrative review by researchers in Canada contributes to this discourse by examining the expanding body of evidence supporting the use of clinical hypnosis in dental settings. The findings suggest that hypnosis may be a valuable adjunct for managing dental anxiety, acute procedural pain and certain chronic orofacial pain conditions.
