Dental Phobias: There are numerous reasons that patients have fear: needles, pain, the unknown, a bad past experience. Finding a caring, compassionate local dentist who can garner your trust is key.. together with professional therapy you will at least tolerate your visits. Perhaps you will someday like them. Anti-anxiety medications can also help.

Dental fear: People are anxious about going to the dentist for different reasons, cross infection, pain, money, etc. Share your fears. If you're stressed or anxious, tell your dentist and the dental staff. Explaining your concerns will let your dentist adapt the proper sedation, anesthesia and treatment to your needs.
