What is Dental Anxiety?
According to the British Dental Association, approximately 53% of the UK population experience some level of anxiety when visiting the dentist.
So, dental anxiety is a super common issue, but it can also have some real-life consequences, mainly preventing people from seeking the dental care that they need to keep their smiles healthy. For some, their anxiety has grown from bad past experiences, fear of pain or simply the unfamiliar sounds and smells of the dental office.
