Treatment of high and low fear individuals
Abstract
This article presents case histories of two patients who were treated at the Dental Fears Research Program at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. These cases demonstrate that dental fear in various forms can be successfully treated and that there are principles which have application in patients with mild anxiety as well as with patients who experience extreme anxiety.
