Understanding Dental Anxiety:

Dental anxiety, also known as dental phobia or odontophobia, is a common condition characterized by fear or apprehension about visiting the dentist. This fear may stem from various factors, including past negative experiences, fear of pain, or fear of feeling out of control during dental procedures.
