There are many terms used to classify the idea of dental phobia. It can be known as dental fear, dental anxiety, dentist phobia, odontophobia, or dentophobia. All of these different names all have the describe the same symptom, which is an intense fear of the dentist’s chair, and therefore avoid even simple check-up appointments let alone any cosmetic dental care.
