Dental Anxiety and Patient Experience
7 articles
Dental Anxiety and Patient Experience looks at the factors that make dental care difficult to approach, tolerate or continue. Fear, previous traumatic experiences, needle anxiety, pain expectations, communication, trust, appointment pacing, behavioural techniques and conscious sedation can all shape attendance and treatment. The section centres on reducing avoidable distress and supporting informed participation, while the technical procedure itself remains within its relevant clinical category.
