I would also add to the causes of dental phobia: fear of receiving a lecture from the dentist or dental staff on why you did not seek treatment earlier or remarks on your dental hygiene. As you mention, it is important for the patient to remember that he or she is the consumer and the dentist must sell you on his services and compassion. Always interview the dentist you are considering using and making using and making sure that you feel comfortable with him or her. Excellent article.
