Hi there
I am going to be writing a short article/letter for the British Medical Journal to raise awareness in medical doctors about dental phobia. I believe that many family doctors are probably prescribing antibiotics to people with dental phobias without realising they have a phobia. I would be interested to see what the experiences of people on the forum are. I'd also welcome any comments for advice to give doctors as to how to help (I will certainly be recommending that they point anyone they suspect of having a dental phoia to this website!!)
Thanks in advance!
