Dentist London - Dental phobia, hypnotherapy and NLP in General Dentistry

Are You Afraid of Your Dentist? Do you maybe even have a dental phobia of visiting your dentist? London surgery the Mermaid Clinic can put your mind at ease.

Our fears of the dentist - also called dental phobia - can have a devastating impact on our lives. Whether it's just the thought of visiting the dentist or one of the procedures, it can cause huge distress which results in us avoiding a dentist at all costs, unless possibly when a physical problem becomes overwhelming. However, the truth remains - we need to have regular check ups to make sure we are staying healthy. Here at ProMind (http://www.promind.co.uk/) we can successfully help you remove your fears and dental phobias. Dental Phobia (Dentophobia) is very common, and although there are no real reliable figures regarding the prevalence of dental phobia in the UK, various studies suggest that over 15% of the western world avoid dental care due to fear. Moreover it is estimated that up to 16 million Britons are thought to suffer from irrational fears and phobias making it difficult for those sufferers to function socially. Whatever your fear or phobia, the combination of Hypnotherapy, NLP and Time Line Therapy™ that we offer can help to remove the unwanted feelings so that you are able to live your life how you would like.

What can be done to remove your dental phobia?

As phobias are triggered to specific events from our past,we can revisit those times and remove the dental phobia at the root cause. To find and remove the root cause we need to tap into the unconscious mind using various types of techniques. The powerful techniques we use are Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy™. It is this approach that allows clients to overcome their irrational fears and phobias quickly and effectively, allowing them to lead normal lives. We have cured many people suffering from a range of phobias; from a fear of dentists to a fear of flying.

How does our approach work?

We initially find the root cause of the problem. Once found and successfully dealt with, so many other positive changes happen as the root cause can also hold us back from so much more than just the dental phobia. The past negative experience or root cause will act as a negative building block to our minds and once replaced will make a much stronger individual.  All of our therapists are trained in NLP, Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy TM and the three approaches work brilliantly together to release irrational fears and phobias.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is the study of how the mind works, enabling you to change the way you think, feel and behave. The human mind is like a computer. If something is not quite right with a computer you can reprogramme it so that it works properly. If a mind is not working correctly, as with irrational fears like dental phobia, then you can help the client to reprogramme it so that it works perfectly.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is about making positive and permanent changes to the root cause at the deeper unconscious level. Hypnosis is completely safe and the client is always in total control. Individuals can easily come out of trance when they want.

Time Line theraph Therapy

Time Line Therapy™ relates to how the mind stores memories and the associated emotions.We can use our time lines to revisit past events and experiences to permanently remove unwanted emotions that are associated with specific times. Sometimes we do not consciously know how our dental phobia started and that is fine. That is the beauty of NLP, Hypnosis and Time Line Therapy.
