I'm Jaz Gulati, welcome to this interference cast a non clinical interruption today on Hypnodontics, hypnosis in dentistry and how you can apply it on Monday morning. I'm joined today by Jane Lelean. Now I hope you enjoyed that previous occlusion episode, I did the basics of occlusion. I've got basics of occlusion two coming up, I'm recording with Mahmoud Ibrahim tomorrow, and we're gonna put together our philosophies to come up with something even more impactful, try and build on that first episode, really just set the scene on why occlusion is confusing, why occlusion is both perhaps overplayed at some points and when it might be super important. So if you haven't listened to basics of occlusion, go back one episode and listen to that one. Anyway, today is about hypnosis in dentistry. And not like, not in a wishy washy kind of way. Like I want you to be able to apply some techniques on Monday morning with your patients to get results. The kind of results I'm talking about is this, right? I am very used to now when I'm explaining risks to patients, or once I've done let's say a deep restoration, I say to my patient, "Hey, you know what, you could get a severe throbbing ache. And if that happens, that's a sign that the nerve is dying. And that can be a very painful thing. It might be worse at nighttime. If you get a spontaneous pain, please give me a call, take some painkillers." This is very much a risk from this procedure, right? So I set them up, In my mind, what I was doing is I was underselling and over delivering so that when they don't get that pain, they think, 'Wow, Jaz is awesome.' So there's a benefit in that, I guess. So I guess I'm happy with the way I've done things. But today, what Jane showed me, what she's gonna share with you is to think about it in a slightly different way. How can we use the power of hypnosis? Which is basically like an altered state of the mind to benefit you and benefit your clinical outcomes. Like, if you tell your patient Look, there are certain patients who are almost like easy to hypnotize. So if you tell them, "Look, you're gonna get swelling, you get pain, like this." And then they come back two days later say "Yeah, it's swollen and painful." And you're like, "Well, that's normal." But they sort of, they made this like Mind-Body connection, they make themselves worse, they make themselves more sick. So equally, if you can sort of hypnotize people in a way for want of a better word, put these people in an altered state of emotion, altered state of mind, then your clinical outcomes might be better, might get less swelling, less dry sockets.
