Can anxiety or fear of going to the dentist become a problem?
• Mild anxiety is no more than one of life’s manageable difficulties. • However, if anxiety and fear keep you away from the dentist, dental problems are more likely to develop, or to get worse. • It is important to see your dentist twice a year, even if you don’t look forward to the appointment. • If dental problems are neglected they will become worse; they never just go away. • Regular dental check-ups can prevent problems from developing.
