This book expresses the need to resolve dental distress by illustrating the need for appropriate dental treatment, the importance of dental appointments, and identifying how to recognize dental anxiety. We will examine symptoms and sources of dental anxiety as well as identifying the need for dental appointments and different approaches to ensure that dental visits are manageable and effective. My earlier book "Overcoming Dental Anxiety" was written as a workbook to help address the issue and give the patients tools to identify their problem. This book is written to provide more in depth information and to accompany the workbook. It is important to acknowledge that dental anxiety is a concern for specific individuals. It is worth mentioning that although I am a dentist, I also experience a form of dental anxiety. I can relate from both sides of the aisle. You've come across this guide because you need a solution to your dental distress, so let's dive in!
