Hypnosis and Dentistry

As I was giving a patient some Novocain the other day (which is technically Procaine, with Novocain being a trade name, but that's for another post), she asked me about hypnosis for dental pain instead. I had heard about hypnosis for a lot of things, but dental pain?

This was somewhat new to me, so I wrote it down, vowing to take a look at it (which was all I could do at the moment -- since I'm not a hypnotherapist, I told my patient that for now, the needle would have to suffice).

Anyway, a little digging, and yes, I found out that hypnosis and dentistry (amongst other medical practices) does have a connection.
