Dental phobia is more than just a fear of the dentist; it can manifest as intense anxiety or even panic attacks at the thought of dental visits. Common triggers include fear of pain, embarrassment, or a sense of loss of control. This fear often leads individuals to avoid dental care altogether, which can result in serious oral health issues down the road.
