Abstract
One in seven of the population of the world is highly anxious about undergoing dental treatment and requires careful and considerate management by dental practitioners. The interaction between the dentist, dental health team and the patient can reveal the presence of anxiety, fear, and phobia. In such situations, subjective evaluation by interviews and self-reporting on fear and anxiety scales and objective assessment of blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse oximetry, finger temperature, and galvanic skin response can greatly enhance the diagnosis and enable categorization of these individuals as mildly, moderately, or highly anxious or dental phobics Formulating acceptable evidence-based therapies for children is essential, or else they can be a considerable source of stress for the dentist.
