Mr. Black was successful in inventing foot motor for the dental drill, but he also needed to know how to cope with patient anxiety. Presently, in the year 2000, dental practitioners have recognized that fear and anxiety associated with dental treatment undermines patient compliance. I suggest that the most qualified of our dental community develop required courses that dental students receive during didactic and clinical training. Most practitioners would agree that a successful practice now depends on inter personal as well as technical skills, particularly the ability to manage dental anxiety. Exogenous dental anxiety patients etiology is situation-related.
Individuals experience moist palms, hand tremors, rapid heartbeat and fluttery stomach.
All of these signs are associated with the fight or flight response in the central nervous system, and are in response to external stimuli. Endogenous generalized anxiety patients experience lightheadedness, difficulty breathing, hyperventilation and nervousness. All of these symptoms are felt are very severe levels. Because these symptoms mimic so many other medical disorders, it is recognized as a medical condition, and should be properly diagnosed. Collection of information 3.
