Please Note: Important message!
Dental patients use
Relaxed Dental Visits audio CDs
through headphones, while in the dental chair.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Relaxed Dental Visits relaxation program
is meant to be played in dental offices/surgeries
only through a patient’s
personal headphones.
The relaxation audio program CDs intentionally provide
effective methods of deep relaxation and may
induce deep relaxation in you and your office staff.
Never drive,
or operate ANY kind of machinery (including dental tools),
while listening to hypnosis or self-hypnosis programs.
As a Dentist or Dental Hygienist you can
increase the effectiveness of this program using the following
seven suggestions.
Help your patients feel prepared, safe, and in
control.
These seven simple steps suggest
ways you can help your patients start relaxing
early on, and keep relaxing during their appointments with you:
-
Dental patients look to you as an
'Authority figure', giving extra weight to the words you
speak. Patients (including very intelligent
people) can experience 'brain fog' caused by the chemical surge
of their autonomic fight or flight response to fear/anxiety.
Explaining procedures in clear and simple terms may enable them
to ask the questions which can help them to feel more secure and
relaxed.
-
Speaking with your patient
before the audio program begins helps
your patient to feel prepared, and feel more in control.
Clarify the steps of the dental procedure the patient requires
including if, or how many
injection(s) will be necessary.
-
Your
patient's eyes will be closed, so review with your patient
the three hand signals
used within Relaxed Dental Visits -
1. patient's hand held palm up
near mouth means - STOP! Pause now, please!
2. tapping on the patient's
shoulder means you wish to talk with him/her
3. tapping on the patient's
chin means you would like him/her to relax his/her
mouth wider open, once again.
(With eyes closed, your patient attention may be
focused deeply elsewhere. A reply may be delayed, or
you may need to repeat a question.)
-
Apply topical
analgesic and leave on for a
minimum of 3-6
minutes. All four thinking style CDs provide
suggestions which include noticeably feeling more benefits
today from the topical gel's increased numbing effect, and
offer the patient specific slow deep breathing and focusing
techniques to use before and during injection(s).
Your dental patient has heard these
helpful and calming suggestions after listening to the
audio program for 5 minutes 30 seconds.
-
Clarifying details about any
injection
very helpfully reduces patient apprehension. When
you clearly explain about the injection in
advance, you allow the patient to remain listening,
undisturbed, to the audio program, DURING the injection itself.
Allowing the patient to continue
listening to the
program during the injection results in noticeably reducing
patient anxiety. When
it's time to give the injection touch a patient's shoulder, just
to check that he/she feels comfortable and ready. Suggest, "It is just fine for you to
keep your eyes closed, and remain relaxed, while you continue
listening to the CD."
This type of
calm 'leading' talk helps reduce worries and fears.
-
PLEASE TIME IT! At 5 min 30 seconds the dental patient has
just listened to the slow deep breathing technique to use
throughout the injection. Immediately before the
injection(s), suggesting to your patient that focusing on the
CDs breathing techniques will allow the injection's few
seconds to pass more quickly, directs your patient's
thoughts helpfully.
At the completion of your patient's dental
appointment, tap him/her on the
shoulder, to gain his/her attention. (As
appropriate, you can comment on the work completed, and advise when the next appointment should be
booked, or your patient may have a question for you.)
-
Give your patient a sense of completion and wellbeing by
beginning the final audio track for him/her, before he/she
leaves the dental chair.
Suggest, "To complete your audio session, just
listen to this three minute closing track. After the
closing track completes, please come out to the reception desk."
You can increase your patient's relaxation focus -
To assist your patient in benefiting from the relaxation
within the audio program, keep conversations to a minimum.
Remember after speaking with your patient, that you can assist
him/her in relaxing quickly once again, by suggesting...
"If you close your eyes,
inhaling and exhaling slowly a few times now... you can feel
relaxed again, very quickly."
