Dental Fear

The Fear of Dentists and Dental Procedures

Phobic Properties

The more invasive a procedure is, the greater the fear is. This may due to a sense of restriction and a loss of control which often appears while sitting in a dentist's chair.

Connection to Virtual Reality

VR is still regularly used to assist people with dental phobia, but as a diversion tactic rather than a method of treatment.
