Abstract
Autonomic nerves, made up by sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves, regulate the balance between body and mind.
With sympathetic nerve dominance we find ourselves tense both physically and mentally, while the dominance of parasympathetic nerve allows us to be relaxed and tranquil in mind and body. This is the basic context in which I attend my patients clinically on a daily basis making use of body rctlex treatment based on the function of autonomic nerves.
Regarding emotive language, it is also important to note that there are two types: one influences the function of the sympathetic nerves and the other has an effect on the parasympathetic nerves.
This suggests the advantage of use of the language with parasympathetic nerve dominance during dental treatment, which allows patients to feci relaxed physically and mentally as that language induces comfortable emotions in them. In talking to the patients one example is to use emotive words classed as a type of comfort such as to be relieved, praise, to be pleased, to love, to laugh, to fraternize, etc.
The language with an unpleasant connotation includes fear, suffering, trouble, to scold, to feel sad. to hate, to be disagreeable, etc., which contrasts with those contained in the category of comfort. What I did is. first, to contrast types of comfortable feeling in which parasympathetic nerve is dominant with those of uncomfortable feeling which has to do with sympathetic nerve dominance, which is followed by positioning the group of comfort in an inner circle and the group of discomfort in an outer circle. Here I present a Mandala-like chart into which I have schematized all this.
Finally I would like to comment that this classification, which subjectively reminds us to characterize the emotive language, allows me to affirm the presence of a common base for the evaluation of the responses of the patients, regardless of age. sex and stimulant.
