Dental phobia, significantly impacting patient well-being and healthcare access, is a prevalent issue in general practice. This study delves into the causes, effects, and management of dental phobia, highlighting the crucial role of general practitioners (GPs) in addressing this challenge. Key sources of dental phobia include past traumatic experiences, fear of pain, and negative perceptions of dental settings. Effective management involves a multi-faceted approach that encompasses empathetic communication, pre-treatment planning, and the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and sedation techniques to alleviate anxiety. The study also examines the potential of technological advancements, such as virtual reality and computer-controlled anesthetic delivery, in mitigating fear and improving patient experiences. Early identification and intervention by GPs are essential to prevent severe oral health issues and ensure patients receive timely and appropriate care. The overview advocates for a comprehensive, understanding, and patient-centered approach in general practice to overcome the barriers posed by dental phobia, ultimately enhancing patient health outcomes and quality of life.
