Fear of DentistsHow Phobias Work | The Cure | Other Treatments | Tools Dental phobia, dental anxiety, dental fear, and fear of needles or anesthesia are major obstacles to receiving proper dental care. Fear of getting fillings or a phobia about extractions can cause people to delay or avoid much needed treatments. Dental health is an important component of overall health as is a big factor in how much people enjoy life. Fear of dentists goes in the same general category as fear of doctors and may share some of the same fears - fear of needles for instance. Often fear of the dentist is the result of a traumatic experience in childhood. After a frightening childhood trip to the dentist the mind attaches fear to that type of situation. Fear of needles or sharp instruments are among the most common problems relating to dental fear. Symptoms may include excessive sweating or clamminess, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, nausea and dizziness. Often people with dental phobia imagine the worst about their possible upcoming appointments. Successful in overcoming a phobia involves much more than "positive thinking". You must teach the mind to automatically create images and sounds that lead to positive emotional states. Phobias Cured offers The Phobia Self-Help System to teach you how.
