Dental Phobia

Being Afraid Of The Dentist Can Actually Hurt You More

Sometimes just the thought of going to the dentist can actually create so much fear and anxiety in some people, that what they’ll eventually do is just not go.

Not Going To The Dentist Can Be Detrimental To A Person’s Overall Health.

Some people will put up with various diseases which will eventually lead to catastrophic consequences such as periodontal gum disease.

Some of the common reasons why people are afraid of the dentist are as such: previous experiences where they felt pain, loss of control, embarrassment about their physical appearance and or any other kind of negative past experience.

Some signs that you may have dental phobia:

• A troubled feeling the night before your dental exam

• Anxiety while waiting in the waiting room

• Fear of dental instruments

• Fear the dentist will hurt you
