Dentophobia and Iatrophobia
Dentophobia (a fear of dentists) and Iatrophobia (a fear of doctors) are two very common phobias.
No one really likes going to the dentists but for those who suffer with anxiety, panic attacks and the extremes of phobia when visiting doctors and dentists, the whole experience can be traumatic or non-existent for those who simply won't go!
Avoiding doctors and dentists is acceptable unless you are in need of medical or dental assistance. You can allow your teeth to drop out of your mouth but if an extreme dental emergency emerges, it becomes a necessity, rather than a cosmetic issue.
Similarly, most people go through life with few serious medical issues but even minor issues can escalate if ignored.
For those people who suffer with an anxiety disorder, the anxiety is compounded. Those who only experience high anxiety when visiting doctors or dentists are able to cope with the anxiety and be nurtured through most procedures with the help of a mild sedative or relaxation exercises for example, however, panic disorder sufferers often find it impossible to leave home let alone get to the surgery!
For those Iatrophobia and Dentophobia sufferers who are non-anxious under normal circumstances, there exist many great solutions both in the real world and on-line, such as this excellent self-hypnosis / relaxation product, Overcome the Fear of Dentists I often recommend to my clients.
For those sufferers who have an anxiety disorder, it is vital that they address the root cause of their anxiety first which will then undermine the fears they experience when visiting the dentist, doctor or any other anxiety provoking situation.
Fear is normal, it is an appropriate reaction to a threat but when it becomes inappropriate and invasive, it is vital that something is done to remove the anxiety that fuels it.
