What is dental fear / anxiety and ways of management
Most of us get through our dental check-ups and any subsequent treatment without too much concern. However, for a number of individuals, even the thought of dental treatment or visits to a dentist, triggers a number of symptoms, from anxiety through to panic attacks. This is known as Odontophobia or dental fear and anxiety, causing people to avoid dental visits where possible and putting their own health at risk in the long run.
