Summary

Modern dentistry has made much progress in pain control and in providing a patient-friendly service, which has expanded the dentist’s ability to perform a wide range of treatments in a pain-free environment. Nevertheless, despite revolutionary new dental techniques, it is well recognized in the dental literature that substantial fear exists concerning seeking dental care. This fear can be so extensive that people from all races and socioeconomic categories can be affected by it in some form.
