Medical Conditions - Dental Anxiety

Dental anxiety is fear of visiting the dental office. About 36 % of the population fear seeing a dentist, and 12 % have an extreme fear. It may be because of a previous bad dental experience making a person postpone or avoid a dental visit. But this can lead to more health-related problems and make the treatment expensive. Currently, dental professionals aim to reduce anxiety by creating a pleasing ambiance and working in the patients' comfort.
