Fear of The Dentist
By Dr. Dennis W. Bressack
Whenever a patient, particularly one who is afraid of dentists or dental treatment, is in severe discomfort with his/her teeth and/or gums, the first thought that comes to their minds is to remove the tooth. I often hear from women that their “tooth discomfort is worse than childbirth.” They say, “at least there is a beginning and an end to that discomfort.” That strategy may indeed give the patient immediate relief and therefore can be a short term solution.
