Who is Dental Fear Central for?
- Anyone (worldwide) with an extreme phobia of dentists
- Anyone with specific dental fears
- Dental professionals and dental students with an interest in dental anxiety management
If you're terrified at the mere thought of ever having to see a dentist, you'll feel right at home here. Or if your fear is more specific, you're bound to find something of interest. For example, our collection of tips for gaggers is second-to-none, as is the article for abuse survivors and their dentists.
What's the philosophy behind it?
- We view people as partners and active participants in their care. For this reason, we do not discourage discussion of dental questions or advice. Of course, this is not meant to and cannot replace the advice of a qualified health professional in person.
- This is a non-commercial resource. There are no sponsors or paid services. If you would like to support us at no cost to yourself, you can make your amazon.co.uk and amazon.com purchases through this site (by following the links in the navigation sidebar).
