It has been estimated that 9% to 15% of Americans avoid seeing the dentist because of anxiety and fear. That&#8217;s about 30 million to 40 million people. In a survey by the British Dental Health Foundation, 36% of those who didn&#8217;t see a dentist regularly said that fear was the main reason.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Dental Fears:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sound of Dental Tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Needles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embarrassment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lack of Control<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes patients hate going to the dentist as a result of one bad experience and sometimes it&#8217;s just a general fear.&nbsp; The fear becomes a problem when patients avoid the dentist because of their fear.&nbsp; Patients with dental phobia or dental fear who avoid the dentist often end up with painful, urgent dental conditions that require more serious treatment like fillings, dental crowns, root canals, extractions, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overcoming your Dental Fears<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re reading this and thinking, &#8220;I still hate going to the dentist&#8221;, than you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
