Dental phobia is a
fear, or
phobia, traditionally defined as an irrational and exaggerated fear of
dentists and
dental procedures. Some controversy exists with regards to whether the fear is "irrational", as dental phobia is most commonly caused by previous bad experiences. Furthermore, there appear to be several subtypes of dental phobia, which to date have not been adequately described and categorized, for example "fear of dentists" versus "fear of specific dental procedures",
needle phobia, and dental phobia resulting from previous, perhaps unrelated,
abuse. Not all of these fears can be deemed irrational.
