If the mere thought of going to the dentist stresses you out, you may have dental anxiety. More than one-third of people in the United States experience symptoms of dental anxiety, and these symptoms can stop people from going to the dentist when they have a serious dental problem. Dental anxiety can also prevent people from undergoing important dental procedures that require several visits to the dentist. For example, it takes at least two visits for a dental crown, which is a tooth-shaped cap used to restore a tooth that is decayed, weakened, broken, or worn down.
