New York City-based Truth & Laughter Dentistry has added hypnosis as a treatment for patient dental fear and pain management.
Truth & Laughter Dentistry is a holistic dental practice led by Asma Muzaffar, DDS. It also offers ozone therapy and the Cleopatra Technique for facial aesthetics, the practice said in an April 12 news release.
Hypnosis can be used to reduce patient anxiety, minimize gag reflexes, prevent bruxism and relax the temporomandibular joint, according to the practice's website.
