If you are nervous about visiting the dentist you\nare not alone, research has found that there are over 60% of people who do not\nvisit the dentist regularly due to a range of fears, from mild dislike to\nextreme panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Telltale signs of dental phobia can range from\nsweating to real distress, and signs of panic. Some patients may even miss\ntheir appointments, which in turn will make things worse as this could lead to\nneeding more treatments in the long term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fear of the dentist could be due to a\ntraumatic dental experience in the past, fear of loss of control or possible\nconditions such as agoraphobia or claustrophobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can be done about fear of the dentist?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
