Do you have fears or anxieties about seeing a dentist? Maybe your children are anxious about trips to the dentist. Yet you know you and your children should go. Dental check-ups are essential to help prevent tooth decay.

You’re not alone. Many people have anxiety about seeing their dentist – even if they’ve only ever had good experiences. That’s because anxiety is usually fear about a future event. You’re worried about something that might happen.

“ Seek recommendations from family and friends. You could also do some research online. ”

If you have dental anxiety, it’s vital to choose a dentist who will listen and acknowledge your fears. If they can’t be empathetic when you’re talking to them, it’s likely they won’t be during treatment either.
