What causes dental fear?

The most common cause is a traumatic dental experience at an early age. This is why regular preventive dental care to prevent dental problems is so important. Other causes include childhood sexual abuse, claustrophobia, agoraphobia, cross phobias (where patients exhibit a number of phobic disorders), panic disorders, anxiety disorders and what I call phobia by association. Phobia by association happens when a patient learns to fear something without any direct experience. An example would be when peers try to scare a child by telling him the dentist is going to hurt him.
