可怕的牙醫(yī)，你有“看牙恐懼癥”嗎?
你是否一聽到鉆牙的聲音就開始莫名地害怕?你是否一看到打麻藥的針頭就開始頭皮發(fā)麻?你是否一躺倒牙椅上就開始不自主血壓飆升?甚至，你一想到要看牙就恨不得一溜煙逃跑，你可能真的有牙科恐懼癥。
Dental fear is the fear of dentistry and of receiving dental care. It is estimated that as many as 75% of US adults experience some degree of dental fear, from mild to severe.

非常害怕看牙的人常會經(jīng)歷“逃避循環(huán)”，他們由于恐懼而逃避看牙，直到他們遇到牙科急癥，而這又需要進(jìn)行侵入性治療，這種治療又會加重他們的恐懼。
