Common Fears
At ADAMS, we believe that understanding your fear is the first step towards managing it.
You're
not
alone
Many Australians feel isolated in their dental anxiety, but the reality is very different.
Research suggests that around 1 in 6 people in Australia experience significant dental fear, and 1 in 2 people feel nervous or uncomfortable about treatment.
These fears are valid, and they often stem from real experiences such as pain, loss of control, or feeling judged.
