Hypnotherapy for Fear of the Dentists
Overcome Dentist Anxiety with Hypnotherapy
Fear of the dentist is incredibly common and for many people, it goes far beyond simple nerves.
Dental phobia can cause intense anxiety, panic attacks, avoidance of appointments, and even physical symptoms such as nausea or dizziness.
I help clients gently overcome fear of dentists using calm, effective hypnotherapy. Whether your anxiety stems from a past experience, fear of pain, needles, loss of control, or embarrassment, hypnotherapy can help you feel calmer, more confident, and back in control of your dental care.
Sessions are available in person near Derby and Nottingham (DE72) and online.
What Is Dental Phobia?
Dental phobia is more than disliking dental visits.
It is a learned fear response that can trigger strong emotional and physical reactions, even when simply thinking about an appointment.
You may experience:
Panic or dread before dental visits
Avoidance or cancellation of appointments
Fear of needles, pain, choking, or gagging
Loss of sleep before appointments
Embarrassment or shame about dental anxiety
