People that are plagued with dental anxiety may take comfort in the fact that it is a fairly common issue. You are not alone and that the medical community takes it very seriously because a person who suffers from dental anxiety is at risk of falling into a vicious cycle of worsening oral health.
Fear causes the person to forego dental checkups for years. When a minor dental issue like a small cavity advances until it hits a nerve and leads to pain, the patient is forced to visit the dentist.
At this point, the needed remedy is a major procedure such as an extraction followed by a dental implant. The process reinforces the patient’s dental anxiety and, once again, the patient stays away from the dentist’s office. That’s how some people end up losing teeth at a relatively young age. Experts believe that the prevalence of dental anxiety may be as high as one in four individuals. Are you one of them?
