Are you afraid to see a dentist?

You are not alone, there are many numbers of people of all ages, who hesitate to visit the Dentist because of the fear.

Do you remember the story about the dentist & the dental visit, in our English textbook? Long waiting time, big machinery in the dental room and the loud hammer sound coming from the dental treatment room, that annoys every patient waiting outside right, but the fact is it was only to fix the plumbing issue in the treatment room, but not to treat the patient.

The same applies to real-life too; many assume that a dental visit is a stressful and painful experience to go through and ignores the dental issues bothering them. They try to bear mild to moderate pain, as the fear of visiting a dentist is quite dominant.

Some people develop the fear by their own assumptions, or by browsing, watching some videos related to their problem on the internet, listening to peers, or any bitter experiences with Dentists in the past will tend to develop the dental phobia.

If you are not able to overcome the fear and delay the dental treatment, you have to face the consequences of it, it may end up in advanced stages of tooth decay or gum infection, etc.
