Abstract:
Among the most recently discussed topics is dental anxiety. In essence,
dental anxiety represents an intense emotional reaction, which can be
triggered even starting with a thought of addressing the dentist. In order
to eliminate or reduce this dominant psychological reaction from the
start, some specific actions are necessary, such as those of information
and communication with the patient. However, the subject in question
remains quite complex, taking into account all the possible effects that
can be triggered. This fact foresees essential interdisciplinary approaches.
