Why Does Dental Anxiety Occur
Dental anxiety is more common than many people think and can arise from various factors. Many develop the fear after previous negative experiences, while others feel worried about pain, sounds, or losing control in the dental chair.
Common causes include
• unpleasant treatments during childhood
• fear of pain
• shame about the condition of one's teeth
• intense anxiety or panic feelings
• inherited fear from parents
The fear can manifest as trembling, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or avoidance of dental care for several years.
