Fear of Dentists is quite common in our country. That's why going to the Dentist is something that is constantly postponed and avoided. After a sleepless night due to tooth pain, or when the pain becomes unbearable, as a last resort, when there is no escape
, one goes to the Dentist. Behind these fears are usually bad experiences in the past or belief in the shares of people who have had these experiences. It is possible to change these and to sit in the Dentist's chair very comfortably
and receive treatment with the hypnosis method.

The word hypnosis means sleep in ancient Greek, and the appearance of a hypnotized person
looks very similar to a sleeping person, but hypnosis is not a state of sleep but a
It is a state of wakefulness and electroencephalograms give traces of wakefulness in a person in hypnosis
. In hypnosis, the brain is in a state between deep sleep and wakefulness in terms of cortical activity.
As a result, Hypnosis is a state in which the cerebral functions that start with wanting, believing and trusting, and occur with suggestion, work. It can be defined as a state in which individual control is clear, we are between sleep and wakefulness, and our consciousness is clear.
