Going to the Dentist

Going to the Dentist In 2010, the percentage of adults ages 18-64 who had made a dental visit in the past year was just over 60%. Over half (51%) of patients who seek cosmetic dentistry are between 41 and 60 years of age. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), two-thirds of cosmetic dentistry patients are women. Contrary to popular belief, with today's technology, root canals are usually no more painful than having a filling. Odontophobia, or fear of the dentist, is classified as a phobia in the Diagnostical and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. BROUGHT TO YOU BY ANACAPA ART INSTITUTE
