Related Variables, Models, Assessments and Interventions for Dental Anxiety: Review for Psychological Understanding and Services
Abstract
Dental anxiety is referred to as expected anxiety or fear when one receives dental treatments or is exposed to dental treatment-related stimuli. Previous studies have proven that a high rate of people have been experiencing dental anxiety in the community, and dental anxiety plays an crucial role in people’s hesitation to seek adequate treatment, leading to people’s oral health and life satisfaction to worsen as time passes. Dental anxiety has multi-causality and is shown to very heterogeneous to people. Also, dental anxiety has been proven to be related to individuals’ physical, cognitive, and personality traits. However, dental anxiety cannot be diagnosed precisely with the current diagnostic system, and attracts less attention from psychologists. Thus, this paper reviews previous studies to understand the related variables, models, assessments, and interventions of dental anxiety. Additionally, it is expected that all related researchers such as dental experts and psychologists collaborate on various and useful studies, and that patients with dental anxiety seek practical assistance via appropriate psychological services.
