Dental Phobia


Dental phobia is a phobia or fear that is defined traditionally as an exaggerated and irrational fear of dental surgeon and even fear of their dental procedures. Even now some controversy still exists related to this fear to find out whether this fear is irrational since this kind of phobia is caused due to some bad dental experience felt by the patient.
This dental phobia is of many sub types, which has not been described or explained to this date and still appears to be an reasoning one, example, “fear of certain dental” procedures verses “fear of dental surgeon” even phobia which is resulting from previous bad dental experiences. But not all these fears can be deemed as irrational.

This phobia can be defined in a better way as persistant and extreme fear which finally results in individual, avoiding to attend dentist or to take up any dental procedures unless when his/her dental problem reaches chronic stage. Hearing or even thinking about going to a dentist will cause psychological distress and this dental phobia may even interfere in regular social functioning.

Commonly caused due to accidental dental experiences or traumatic experiences, but there can also be other causes for this dental phobia. This is mostly seen with children who are influenced by their parents mind set towards this dental treatment.
