Nearly 50% of adults in the US have significant fear of visiting the dentist and is ranked one of the top 3 phobias for adults.
This fear is most commonly the result of past bad experiences. Other reasons for this fear is because people can feel loss of control, embarrassment, fear of needles, dental drills, or the smells inside old-school dental offices.
