Embora a fobia odontológica seja um cenário muitas vezes é negligenciada pelos pacientes e até mesmo pelo dentista. Nesta revisão, discute-se a definição de fobia dental e de qualidade de vida. Em seguida, a literatura sobre fobia dental odontológica e qualidade de vida é revista e discutem-se as possíveis causas e efeitos na rotina normal, nas relações profissionais e sociais de um indivíduo e como isso pode afetar a capacidade das pessoas de comer, beber e falar. Também é fornecida uma variedade de questionários para ajudar os dentistas a determinar a extensão da ansiedade de seus pacientes. O objetivo deste artigo é ajudar o leitor a tornar-se mais consciente sobre como reconhecer pacientes que têm fobia dental do dentista e como usar questionários para determinar a gravidade do seu medo do dentista para que os dentistas possam fornecer cuidados adequados. Além disso, é oferecida uma variedade de intervenções que se mostraram eficazes na clínica. Como resultado, os leitores podem usá-los para ajudar o paciente a superar o seu medo odontológico, melhorando indiretamente a relação entre o dentista e o paciente e melhorando a qualidade de vida do paciente.
Although dental phobia is a common scenario in the clinic, it is often overlooked by patients and even the dentist. In this review, we discuss the definition of dental phobia and quality of life. We then review the literature on dental phobia and quality of life and discuss the possible causes and effects on an individual's normal routine, occupational, and social relationships and how it can affect people's ability to eat, drink, and speak. We also provide a variety of questionnaires to assist dentists in determining the extent of their patients' anxiety. This article is intended to help the reader become more aware of how to recognize patients who have dental phobia and how to use questionnaires to determine the severity of their dental fear so that the dentists are able to provide appropriate care. Moreover, we offer a variety of interventions that have been shown to be effective in the clinic. As a result, readers can use them to help the patient overcome their dental fear, thereby indirectly improving the dentist-patient relationship and improving the patient's quality of life.
