Description
NEW Second Edition – Revised
Beryl Comar shares with you how her HYPNODONTICS book came to be born
“I began looking for the published material and found little information published for dentists. In contacting other consulting hypnotists, I found that most had dealt with few dental cases. This seemed strange as Dave Elman had trained dentists in the 1960s, and his book “Hypnotherapy” had been studied and used by me for over twelve years. It was my “hypnosis bible” and I had used his techniques for countless dental clients.
I had trained with Gerald Kein, who was trained by Dave Elman, and widely recognized as one of the leading instructors of clinical hypnosis. It was only natural that I would turn to him for guidance, and I am thankful for his generous advice on reviewing the first drafts and releasing material for inclusion.”
Beryl Comar shares a culmination of information as she collaborated with hypnotists globally.

How this Book is Organized (excerpt from the book)
“This book is presented in SIX parts:
The first section for the general reader, examines the historic evolution of dentistry, the development of hypnosis as a surgical pain block as compared to chemical anesthetics, and the place of hypnosis in managed dental care today.
The second section, for the consulting hypnotist, details the physiologic, psychological, and sociological aspects affecting Hypnodontics, both from a dental practitioner’s and a dental patient’s point of view. We offer suggestions on how to expand into Hypnodontics and how to approach branching into dental anxiety, either exclusively or in supportive conjunction with an existing hypnotherapeutic practice. “How to Treat the Dentist” examines the stressors dental practitioners face daily so the Consulting Hypnotist can more empathetically structure a proposal for offering a dentist a sample session.
The third section is for a dentist with advice on using hypnosis as an everyday tool for themselves, staff, and patients. It includes recommendations from a dentist who has become a licensed hypnotist and uses hypnosis with her patients, as well as those dentists who have referred patients to hypnotists and how they worked together. There is information for those dentists who wish to complete accredited training in hypnosis. Lastly, we present the current role of hypnotherapy in dentistry as a complementary therapy and our expectations for the future.
Section four is for dentists and hypnotherapists working with children. We describe the growth of teeth from infancy along with some of the concerns of tooth development in growing children. This is followed by suggestions for hypnotists and dentists to work with children, along with examples and some scripts.
Our fifth section contains case histories from the authors and contributing consulting hypnotists from around the world their contact information can be found in the Appendix.
Our sixth section contains some helpful script samples. Always with the caveat that an excellent consulting hypnotist will have more advanced techniques in his or her toolbox (regression to cause, parts therapy among others)
In the Appendix, the reader will find references and a bibliography, a glossary of useful vocabulary, and a list of specialists worldwide who work with hypnosis for dental clients and train certified hypnosis courses.
The objective of this book is to show you how easily Hypnodontics can change dental practice. It will renew approaches to helping people with easily resolved anxieties and habits, and it will invigorate your interest in this fascinating mind science … it all starts with the most basic of uplifting human emotions … the smile – both yours and those of your “fixed” clients and patients!
