Fear of the Dentist

Dentophobia, or fear of the dentist, is a common phobia that can affect people of all ages. Psychologically, it refers to the fear of general dentistry, sitting in the dentist’s office, or undergoing dental treatment. Dentophobia can range from mild to severe and may eventually lead to negative consequences. It can cause individuals to avoid all dental care practices altogether.

In such cases, the first step should be to inform the dentist of this fear when scheduling an appointment. This will help ensure the appointment is set at a convenient time, making the visit more comfortable for both the dentist and the patient.

Next, it is essential for the patient to openly discuss their fears with the dentist. The patient should explain why they are afraid and ask what can be done to help manage this fear. Talking through the causes of the fear with the dentist and jointly deciding on precautionary measures or possible adjustments can be highly effective in overcoming the fear.
