A UK survey of more than 1,000 consumers this past June found that 44% of women who put off going to the dentist do so out of fear, compared with 38% of men.
“For people with a phobia, visiting the dentist can be a very daunting experience,” noted Dr. Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation. “This is a real shame because modern dentistry should be completely pain free,” he said.
