Nearly 145 million Americans avoid the dentist because of fears they have about the dentist. While some are too embarrassed to admit it, others are all too happy to tell you about all the horrible experiences they have had - which justifies their fear and which still prevents them from thinking rationally about their oral health.

Most of these people only go when they absolutely have to, usually driven there by unbearable pain or acute tooth infection in the jaw. These people will put up with the most horrible tooth aches, broken teeth and infection before being forced to sit in the dental chair.

The problem is that waiting for bad dental problems to force action simply makes the experience that much worse. And it often becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, which further convinces the phobic patient that they were right – it is terrible and they still hate dentists!

The problem here is that even if this describes you, you already know that your health depends on having regular dental care, and that it’s important to properly take care of your teeth at home. However, it doesn’t make it any easier if dental fear predominates.

If you are a member of this club, then this information should be a welcome breath of fresh air. It may be the best news you’ve come across, and in fact may save your marriage, your social life, your career, and even your life!

The truth is that despite your past experiences, dentistry doesn’t have to be scary!
