Topic: Management of Dental Phobia at Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine: What works for whom?

Abstract:

Anxiety and phobia are very common among dental patients, especially those attending for oral surgery procedures, and this can be a major problem for both the patient and the dentists.

The cause of phobia is deep-rooted and is often initiated from a stressful previous experience. Sometimes, the patient cannot recall why they are phobic about specific issue and usually, they have no control over it. This category of patients may never visit a dentist or will only do so when they are in extreme pain. The management of such patients becomes a challenging task and requires specific skills and procedures.

This presentation appraises both cognitive and pharmacological methods in managing phobic patients and discuss the importance of controlling pain and anxiety in modern practice of dentistry.
