Dentistry and oral health are at the heart of the systemic health of humans. Often this branch of medicine is underestimated either due to socioeconomic reasons or due to fear. In fact, in dentistry, there is often a widespread condition of odontophobia among patients. A clinician's knowledge of this condition, and an accompanying understanding of how to successfully manage it, is surely one of the first steps to gaining a patient's trust and maintaining his or her patronage. Being able to manage a dental phobic patient in the best way is the key to successful therapy. Psychological techniques often have to work alongside dentistry in managing these patients. A future perspective concerns precisely the implementation of non-invasive practices such as hypnosis in the management of the latter.
牙科与口腔健康是人类全身健康的核心。由于社会经济原因或恐惧心理，这一医学分支常常被低估。事实上，在牙科领域，患者中普遍存在牙恐症。临床医生了解这种情况，并同时理解如何成功应对，无疑是赢得患者信任并保持其光顾的首要步骤之一。以最佳方式应对牙科恐惧症患者是成功治疗的关键。在管理这些患者时，心理技术往往必须与牙科治疗协同发挥作用。未来的一个展望恰恰在于将催眠等非侵入性方法应用于此类患者的管理。
