Does the thought of going to the dentist make your heart race? Dental anxiety is more common than many people realise, and for some patients, past experiences can leave a lasting impact on how they feel about dental care. In this episode, Dr Ved explores where dental fear comes from, why it can develop from a young age, and how negative experiences can shape the way we approach the dentist.

You’ll learn practical strategies to manage dental anxiety, how dentists can help patients feel more comfortable, and why building trust is such an important part of the patient experience. Whether you feel nervous before appointments or know someone who avoids the dentist because of fear, this conversation offers reassurance, understanding, and steps towards a calmer dental journey.
