Dental anxiety is a very real barrier to oral health. Approximately 16% of Australian adults have high dental anxiety. Dental anxiety not only results in poorer oral health, but also to reduced frequency of dental visiting. People with dental anxiety are afraid to visit the dentist and are also more likely to cancel a dental appointment or fail to attend on the day of the appointment.
