[Diagnosis and treatment of dental anxiety]
Abstract:
Fear of dental treatment is a common phenomenon. Every oral health care provider will have to treat a patient with this fear one day. Adequate diagnostics are essential for a correct assessment of the level of fear and how an anxious patient can best be helped. In cases of mild fear, lowering the state anxiety by teaching the patient coping skills, will suffice. In cases of extreme fear, reducing disposition anxiety (the core of the anxiety disorder) comes first, since this will not only reduce fear during the treatment, but will also halt avoidance behavior, which in the end will have a positive effect on the oral health care of the patient.
