Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that hypnosis can be an effective substitute for some anesthetic drugs in certain dental procedures, especially for patients who have anxiety or fear related to dental procedures. In some cases, hypnosis has been shown to decrease pain and anxiety during dental procedures, without the use of traditional anesthesia. However, it is important to note that hypnosis is not effective for all patients or procedures and should only be used under the guidance of a trained and licensed practitioner.
