Dental phobia is the fear of getting dental treatment done due to multiple reasons explained below.
Top 5 reasons for fearing the dentist:
- Fear of pain
Past experience plays a vital role in inducing fear of pain. It may also be a result of the experience narrated by friends and family about their not so pleasant dental experiences. - Fear of injections
Local anesthesia is thought to be a very painful injection. So , a lot of patients just avoid dental visits so as to avoid the “initial numb shot” from the dentist. - Fear of failure
Some patients have developed a fear of failure of dental procedures. They tend to avoid dental treatment completely or just get the tooth removed, even in case of minor dental problems which can be easily treated. - Feeling of claustrophobia
Few patients have a feeling of being restrained or even drowning during dental treatment. Such feelings mostly originate from the apprehension for dental treatment. - Feeling of embarrassment
Poor oral hygiene or poor status of gums/teeth or bad breath may make one feel conscious or embarrassed about it.
Negative impacts of dental phobia on oral health
Research shows that anxious patients possess poor oral health in terms of decayed, missing, and filled teeth.
They are also prone to severe infections and complications resulting from neglected dental problems.
It is also observed that the dental treatment phobia ends up spending a fortune for complex and advanced dental procedures to eventually deal with severe problems in comparison to patients who are prompt in visiting the dentist as the developing problems are dealt at primary stage with basic dental procedures.
