Fear of the dentist
Watch
Announcements
Hi everyone. I'm currently doing a project on the prevalence of dental phobia. I find it quite interesting that even some dentists are scared of going to the dentist. I have set up a survey asking your thoughts on dental phobia. Please could you fill it in if you have the time?
It's 9 multiple choice questions, and information given is anonymous

I once hit a dentist in the face when they stabbed me in the mouth with a sharp metal thing

It's great I'm getting a wide range of people completing the survey. I'd love you get your opinion in more depth for my EPQ as a dental student. If you have the time, pop me a PM

Why wouldn't anyone be frightened of the dentist, FFS? It HURTS!

"Dental phobia" as an 'illness' makes as much sense as "wild mad dog phobia" or "being run down when running across the M25 phobia".

It's okay, dental phobic people. I'm scared of having impressions taken of my upper jaw.

Find a new dentist lol, shouldn't hurt one bit apart from the obvious anaesthetic needle

Done. Used to be very scared,now not really at all. All I was scared of was the needle, but I've gotten over my fear so really there's nothing for me to worry about. Don't get me wrong I still get sweaty palms before I go in, but it's more the unknown and the prospect of shelling out £100's!

I've had a few over the years - no difference. All psycho sadists, the lot of them.

What did others value the molar at? I had my wisdom teeth removed outside the UK, I didn't pay for it but the operation was meant to be at a significant cost.

In my opinion it would be priceless!

What the question is asking is if someone paid you x amount of money for your fully healthy fully functional molar tooth, how much would you sell it to them for? It is essentially finding out how much you value your teeth
In my opinion it would be priceless!

That's their job!

I never had any problems before. She had a metal thing in my mouth and was stabbing me with it to 'check my gums'. I told her it was sharp and hurt but she was like "no it's not, it's round". "Round" my arse. She gave my gums one big stab and my arm just flew at her by itself and hit her in the face. She looked really mad and said "well, we won't be doing that again" and then stormed out the room leaving it to the dental assistant.
The assistant was nice and gental
I only had to see this bad dentist once because she left not long after, she was new to the practise too.
