There are a couple of obvious reasons on why so many people are fearful of the dentist. The drill, the pain, scoldings or the sounds the dentist’s tools make.  These fears tend to make people postpone dental appointments and even worse, avoid them all together. This then puts many Americans at a greater risk for gum disease and early tooth loss, which are conditions that can affect a person’s physical, social and mental health!
