There are a lot of people who will not fly because they have an extreme anxiety of fear of flying. Let's face it, a lot people do not get needed dental care because, they too, have anxiety about the dental chair. It is estimated that 10-12 million people won't go to the dentist for necessary dental work strictly because of this anxiety.
Dental care in today's modern dental office is virtually without pain. If you want some REAL pain, experience a toothache from an abscess and don't go to a dentist for relief. That's not anxiety, that's pain. Regular dental care will keep your mouth healthy and pain free. NOT going to the dentist will set you up, not for anxiety, but for a possible tooth loss accumulated by the pain you could have avoided in the first place. If you have anxiety, talk to your dentist about it and everything will be done to make sure you're comfortable.
Don't neglect needed dental care because of unwarranted anxiety.
