People with dental phobia try their best to avoid going to the dentist and will only go if they are extremely sore. Other signs of dental phobia include:
Trouble sleeping at night before dental examination
Feeling of nervousness worsens in dentist's waiting room
Go to the dentist's office but can not get in
Crying or feeling unwell when considering going to the dentist
When dentists or hygienists put things in your mouth, especially when you think about it, you're upset and suddenly feel it hard to breathe
