I think it is almost without exception that dental fear is
common to all. I am terrified to seek an appointment with a dentist. We can
even be prepared for a skull surgery but we would certainly back out at the
mere mention of tooth extraction or root canal treatment.
The pain associated with any type of dental problems would
create fear instantly. It is no wonder statistics reveal that dentists are the
most feared out of any type of doctors.
Cause of Dental Fear
Why dental fear is so prevalent? After all, the pain
associated with it won’t last more than day when compared to any other forms of
surgery.
• Previous
terrible experience with a dentist.
• Fear of
being embarrassed or ridiculed for your dental condition. This is quite
problematic since your own fear is also the reason for your dental neglect in
the first place.
• Fear of
the anesthesia shots and needles registered by the dentist before proceeding to
any dental procedure.
Overcome dental fear
I learnt to overcome dental fears by visualizing a pain
relieved night after dental appointment. The fee minutes would pass on and
surely, we can see 9 PM in my watch and by then, all would be over.
