Understanding Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety has been referred to by several interchangeable names including dental phobia, dental fear, and in literature, odontophobia or dentophobia.
People undergoing anxiety experience enhanced stress and uneasiness while visiting the dentist, and are consequently unwilling to see the dentist.
How Common Is Dental Anxiety?
If you feel anxious about visiting the dentist, remember that millions share your experience:
- Nearly 40 million Americans avoid the dentist due to anxiety, as noted by the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine.
- In a survey by the American Association of Endodontists, 80% of U.S. adults reported fearing the dentist.
- Women and children tend to report more dental anxiety than men.
How Dental Anxiety Affects You
Putting off or avoiding dental visits can increase your risk of developing dental problems, making future visits more difficult.
Staying away from the dentist can lead to worsening dental disease, needing emergency care, or complex treatments. It can also make your dental anxiety worse, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.
Many dental issues are related to lifestyle and can be prevented. By not visiting the dentist, you might end up needing more complicated treatments and miss out on important advice for better oral health care.
Let us help you break the cycle of dental anxiety.
