Fear of the dentist and receiving dental care can also be referred to as odontophobia, dentophobia, dentist phobia, and dental anxiety.
Dental phobia must be tackled head on. Our oral care is vital for health and wellbeing. So below are some tips for help with the fear of the dentist.

This fear as continued into my adult life and I have often stopped going to the dentist until absolutely necessary.. That was until a few months ago when I n found a fantastic dentist who is patient, caring and understanding.

If you are like the majority of use you were sitting in a slightly cramped seat, the person in front kept reclining their seat so you had less room that before, the food was ‘so so’ and you had to wait ages for that extra cup of coffee. Imagine the scene if you had a luxurious reclining seat, major leg room, choice of food on china plates, plenty of champagne and service on tap throughout the flight. Sounds a dream…Well as most of us turn right on a plane we will never know. So below are some tips on how to potentially get an upgrade so you can see how the other half live.
I cannot guarantee these will work but I would love to have feedback if you find yourself turning left instead of right!
