What Causes Probias?

The fear of the dentist (dental phobia)

Dental phobia, or the fear of the dentist, can be much more than a fear of actual dental procedures... for those who cannot face dental treatment, it can cause the physical pain of bad teeth, the loss of confidence involved in poor hygiene, and eventually, the inability to smile with confidence.

Fear of the dentist is extremely widespread.  Up to four out of five people admit to having a fear of the dentist, with as many as one in seven people never undergoing any dental treatment at all.

Dental phobia, or a fear of the dentist and dental procedures can be due to...

• Bad experiences in the past
• Dentists being portrayed in a bad light in the media
• The waiting room, where sounds of other people's dental work can be heard
• Family and friends insensitively making remarks about their past bad experiences
• A fear of being judged by the dentist if they obviously have been neglecting their mouth
• A fear of lack of control while the dental procedures are being performed

The final item on the list above really says it all... Someone with a fear of the dentist usually has a deep seated fear of being out of control in the dentist's chair.
