Baby Dental, Talking to Your Dentist About your Fears
If you have dental fears, know that your are not alone. Many people have fears of the dentist that go back to childhood. However, pain control and treatment techniques change constantly, therefore the things you fear most may not exist any longer, or there may be new and improved ways of dealing with them. If you fear you have a particular disease or condition, let your dentist know. He or she can look for signs and either diagnose the problem or set your mind at ease. Often, just talking about your fears will take some of the edge off.
