Description:
Research indicates that an overwhelming percentage of patients find dental care to be an anxiety-producing experience. At the same time, dentists and dental teams are frustrated when techniques that comfort one patient backfire on another. This lecture will explore the four types of underlying dental fears and the impact on a patient’s personality. Skills to identify these fears and alternatives to treat the patient’s fears will be discussed.
