Causes of Dental Phobia
Dentistry is an important part of social, health and personal aspects of the lives of Americans and people
all around the world. Taking good care of one’s teeth is imperative to the healthy functioning in today’s
society, and has a great influence on self-perception, and the ways in which we are perceived by others.

Attending a Dentist Regularly
Attending the dentist regularly is extremely important for oral health, and
should never be ignored. Anyone who has experienced the pain of a
toothache can understand the discomfort and extreme pain that it can
cause. And beyond this pain and discomfort, poor dental health can have a
significant effect on overall physical health.
Because of these negative effects of poor oral care, having a good dentist is extremely important. A
dentist though, is not helpful if you do not set and keep appointments regularly. Many individuals are
afraid to attend the dentist, and because of this fear, they do not go and often experience serious dental
and even medical problems.
This fear of dentists is extremely interesting and disconcerting, and should be looked into in order to
ensure greater dental health for everyone. Though many people fear the dentist, they sometimes have
difficulty understanding exactly where their fear comes from. Understanding the cause of a fear, is an
important step in learning to deal with and even remove that fear.

Related Fears of Overall Fear of Dentistry
There are many fears that contribute to the overall fear of dentistry, and the
first of these is the fear of dentists in general. This fear may be due to a bad
experience with a dentist in the past, or a belief that dentists enjoy causing
pain in their patients. This fear may be assuaged a little by remembering that
each dentist is different and choosing a compassionate dentist in the first
place.
Another dental related fear is the fear of the pain associated with the actual dental work that is done.
This phobia may be helped by remembering the tooth pain that accompanies not having adequate
dental work performed.
Fear of the drill and other dental equipment is another big dental related fear. Distraction is a great way
to deal with this fear; many dentists have televisions or other means of entertainment in their offices
now to combat this fear.
One of the last main fears associated with the dentist’s office is the fear of not being able to breathe.
Because so many tools are sometimes in the human mouth during the dental appointment, many
people fear that they will choke. Asking if you can use the saliva ejector may be a great way to get
control of the fear and the situation.
One of the most important parts of solving all of these dental fears is just to find a dentist that you trust
and are very comfortable with. Asking your friends about a West Jordan dentist may be the best way to
find a good and reliable dentist near you. Find a good dentist and overcome your dental health related
fears today!

Causes of Dental Phobia

  • 1. Causes of Dental Phobia Dentistry is an important part of social, health and personal aspects of the lives of Americans and people all around the world. Taking good care of one’s teeth is imperative to the healthy functioning in today’s society, and has a great influence on self-perception, and the ways in which we are perceived by others.

Another dental related fear is the fear of the pain associated with the actual dental work that is done. This phobia may be helped by remembering the tooth pain that accompanies not having adequate dental work performed. Fear of the drill and other dental equipment is another big dental related fear. Distraction is a great way to deal with this fear; many dentists have televisions or other means of entertainment in their offices now to combat this fear.
  • 2. One of the last main fears associated with the dentist’s office is the fear of not being able to breathe. Because so many tools are sometimes in the human mouth during the dental appointment, many people fear that they will choke. Asking if you can use the saliva ejector may be a great way to get control of the fear and the situation. One of the most important parts of solving all of these dental fears is just to find a dentist that you trust and are very comfortable with. Asking your friends about a West Jordan dentist may be the best way to find a good and reliable dentist near you. Find a good dentist and overcome your dental health related fears today!
