Dental fear is one of the biggest challenges that keep people from getting good dental care.<\/p><\/div>\n

Does your heart pound\u00a0just thinking about going to the dentist?<\/em><\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse? The sharp, shiny instruments or the sound of the drill?<\/h2>\n

For the majority of people, going to the dentist isn\u2019t a painful\u00a0experience.\u00a0But that doesn\u2019t mean that we love being in the dental chair.<\/p>\n

But what if there\u2019s more to it?<\/em><\/p>\n

Many people are panicked and even terrified of visiting the dentist.<\/h2>\n

Fear of the dentist can be paralyzing \u2013 so much so that dental visits are put off for years.\u00a0When you don\u2019t visit the dentist on a regular basis, there\u2019s a greater potential for gum disease and early tooth loss. It can even affect\u00a0overall health. Do you:<\/p>\n

Have trouble sleeping the night before going to the dentist?<\/em><\/p>\n

Feel your nerves taking over as you sit in waiting room?<\/em><\/p>\n

Cry or get\u00a0physically\u00a0ill at the thought of visiting the dentist?<\/em><\/p>\n

Panic or find\u00a0it difficult to breathe when objects are placed in your mouth\u00a0during dental treatment?<\/em><\/p>\n

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely suffer from dental fear or anxiety.<\/i><\/h2>\n
