The impact of dental fear on daily life
The fear of dentistry is not unusual to detect amongst patients, this dental fear in return creates a barrier for seeking oral health care thus affecting the individuals emotional well-being and overall quality of life. The avoidance of treatment results in severe general health complications such as; "septicemia skin problems, joint and heart problems, facial osteo-myelitis and many more". This can negatively affect the individuals functional well-being emotional well-being, social interaction and sense of self care. Therefore, research conducted has revealed that individuals suffering from dental fear; more often are subjected to poorer quality of life in comparison to other individuals who are not dentally afraid. Dental fear creates long term avoidance of care, thus results in deteriorated dentition. Therefore, individuals have difficulties interacting with different people, as they may be embarrassed due to poor aesthetics which makes smiling difficult and social interactions awkward. Therefore, this creates isolation and withdrawal impacting the emotional health.
Amira, you may have to change this information as it talks about dental phobia and not fear (they are two different things).
I will make some changes, I had just thought based on what Rabia had stated that they were interrelated :)

Ref
There's a real problem with the refs in this article. It looks like the ==External links== section has the actual refs. The article just has a number. If you want to make this work, please put the ref in the article itself. So instead of <ref>16</ref>, the bit in the paragraph says <ref>(Whatever the name of the article is)</ref>. It should be a simple cut-and-paste job, except that there are 15 named refs, and 16 slots to put them in, so every ref needs to be verified by hand. WhatamIdoing (talk) 05:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Friend/partner removal
The sentence had been uncited since 2010 Feb, and it wasn't supported by the previous refs. While I totally agree that a dental phobic (dental feared? dentally feared? dental anxious?) person should bring someone who can restrain them from either running from the office or punching an aide or doctor, in this article the "advice" is completely uncited. 71.234.215.133 (talk) 05:21, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
