Research indicates that an overwhelming percentage of patients find dental care to be an anxiety-producing experience. At the same time, dentists and dental teams are frustrated when techniques that comfort one patient backfires on another. This course explores the four basic types of dental fear, the importance of the fear's intensity, and the significance of the patient's underlying personality. You will learn the skills to identify these fears and alternatives to treat the patient's fear.
