The fear of the dentist is commonly referred to as "dentophobia." This anxiety can stem from various factors, including past traumatic experiences, fear of pain, or the sounds and smells associated with dental procedures. It can lead individuals to avoid necessary dental care, potentially affecting their oral health.

Is it okay to be scared when you are becoming a Dentist?

I'm not quite sure if you mean 'when you are becoming a dentist' or 'when you are going to see the dentist". Either way, it is perfectly alright to be scared. After all, a dentist does have tremendous responsibilities for the health of his/her patients and that responsibility can be a bit daunting! It's also ok to be scared if going to the dentist and in fact, most people are. This fear is normal and can be alleviated by finding a good dentist who is willing to listen to your concerns and who understands your fears.
