The treatment of dentally anxious patients demands a behavioral approach, supported, if necessary, by pharmacological means. First of all coping is described. Next an overview is presented of the most common anxiety-reducing methods. To this goal the dentist has at his disposal: information, successive approximation, distraction and relaxation. Biofeed-back does not appear to be used. The systematic desensitisation, the deconditioning of dental anxiety, is dealt with separately, because this technique requires the aid of a psychologist.
对牙科焦虑患者的治疗需要一种行为方法，必要时辅以药物治疗。首先描述应对方式。接下来概述最常见的减轻焦虑的方法。为此，牙医可采用以下方法：提供信息、逐步趋近、分散注意力和放松。生物反馈似乎未被使用。系统性脱敏，即消除牙科焦虑的条件反射，将单独论述，因为该技术需要心理学家的协助。
