Fear of the dentist: an understandable, but surmountable obstacle

It is not uncommon for many people, especially older adults over 60, to experience anxiety about the dentist. Statistics show that about one in five people have not visited the dentist for a very long time, likely due to this fear. This is concerning, as it means that the oral care of these older adults is often inadequate. 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.
