When it comes to seeing a dentist, an estimated one in seven people experience some form of anxiety. These anxieties can have severe consequences when they are allowed to impact decisions that patients make toward their dental care. As many as 30% of these highly anxious patients end up delaying dental visits until they find themselves in an emergency situation. Unfortunately, neglecting routine dental care often results in more serious dental and overall health problems. Such problems often require treatments that are more extensive and expensive than when routine treatment is maintained.
