Dental fears: Anxiety over a dental visit is not uncommon. For you it may be that a total stranger is about to check your mouth. For some patients it is the fear of being told they have a dental problem. Sometimes it is the fear of needles. As a dental kid--your oral hygiene should be good so don't sweat the visit.
