Dental work is essential for our oral health, but can be emotionally stressful and temporarily traumatic for the body tissues involved. Upledger Craniosacral Therapy features a range of specialised and very gentle techniques for the face, neck, jaw and inside the mouth which can facilitate healing and support you physically and emotionally before and after dental procedures.

Upledger Craniosacral Therapy for dental work support can help you in the following ways:

• Settle your nervous system and boost your emotional resilience to reduce dental phobia
• Ease pain and physical restrictions in your mouth and surrounding tissues, before and after dental work
• Promote healing and integration
• Realign and rebalance cranial and facial bones and soft tissues
• Ease headaches and jaw problems

The techniques used inside the mouth are very gentle and precise. I wear lightweight vinyl gloves for this work. The touch is focused on the teeth, hard palate, facial bones and soft tissues under the tongue. Many people find these techniques deeply relaxing: So much of the medical attention that our mouths receive is performed with machines and metal instruments – a therapeutic touch inside the mouth can feel deeply healing and reassuring. You the client are in control at all times and need only to raise your hand if you wish me to remove my hand from your mouth.
