Fear of the dentist can vary from mild to extreme. Fearing what you don’t know is the most common fear. Following this is dental fear, an actual reaction to a known or presumed danger. For instance you may have had a bad time at the dentists when you were younger, and you worry about it happening again, will it hurt, will I vomit? The highest level is dental phobia which is similar to dental fear but much worse, and it is also the result of unpleasant past experiences, which usually caused you pain.

There are three factors that tend to keep your fear of the dentist going.

Sensitisation (you find it difficult going to the dentist)
Avoidance (you stop going to the dentist)

A dental phobia develops when you become sensitized to the dentist, in other words, when anxiety becomes conditioned or associated with that situation. All it takes at times, is to just pick up the phone to call or be on your way to a dentist appointment to experience anxiety.

When a person learns to associate their extreme anxiety to the dentist or the dentist’s office, a dental phobia results. If you start to feel panic surge up into your throat as you make the appointment over the phone or as you walk into the clinic, you might start to feel that way every time you find yourself in a dental-related situation. Sensitization means that just thinking of the dentist can immediately make you anxious.

If the sensitive feeling subsides your natural reaction may be to forget that it ever happened. Repeated avoidance is very satisfying because it allows you to avoid anxiety. The best way to hang on to your phobias or fears is to avoid them altogether. This holds you back from getting a grip on them.

The third factor that perpetuates fears of going to the dentist, is distorted self talk. The more worry and anticipatory anxiety you experience about something you fear, the more likely you are to be involved in unconstructive self talk connected with that fear. Realize you may experience fear or other negative ideas  about going to the dentists. Both the negative self talk and negative image serve to perpetuate your fears, guaranteeing that you remain afraid. They also undermine your confidence that you can ever get over your fear.
