Dr Brice Lemaire and Sharon Waxkirsh bring nearly half a century of combined experience in dental hypnotherapy. Internationally recognised clinicians and educators, they have presented and trained together worldwide.
This joint presentation offers a rare opportunity to learn from two senior practitioners working in the same speciality with thousands of hours of clinical and teaching experience.
Double Down on Dental Hypnosis, examines how dental hypnotherapy can be effectively integrated into everyday dental practice to reduce anxiety, manage pain, improve patient cooperation, and enhance treatment outcomes. Grounded in extensive real-world experience, the session emphasises practical applications.
What makes this presentation unique is the collaboration between a dentist and a hypnotherapist, both experienced in the use of hypnosis for procedures performed without chemical anaesthesia. Dr Lemaire presents the dentist’s perspective, demonstrating how hypnotic analgesia and anaesthesia are utilised.
Ms. Waxkirsh has extensive experience in using hypnosis as the primary anaesthetic on a wide range of surgical procedures, she is an established lay hypnotist accepted into surgical procedures in both the medical and dental fields.
Together, they present a unified approach to hypnosis-based dental care.
Examples and demonstrations illustrate the techniques they use.

They have led training courses online and in person at the Royal College of Medicine and other venues across the UK. They both own hypnotherapy schools enabling the medical and dental professionals to train alongside the lay hypnotist.
