At the Anxiety Dentist The Hague City Centre—which is Haagse Hout Tandartsen—we understand these fears and work hard to help you overcome them. Oral health is crucial, and that is our top priority.
Overcoming dental anxiety at Haagse Hout Tandartsen
It is estimated that between 600,000 and 850,000 people in the Netherlands suffer from a dental phobia. This is a fear that runs so deep that people constantly look for excuses to avoid going to the dentist. This fear can be the result of previous negative experiences at the dentist, fears passed on by the child's parents, or the sharing of scary stories about the dentist. The consequence of avoiding the dentist is that even the smallest problems, which could be resolved with a simple treatment, can escalate into major issues.
