Abstract

The provision of adequate anxiety control is an integral part of the practice of dentistry. The General Dental Council has indicated that this is both a right for the patient and a duty placed on the dentist. All patients deserve appropriate anxiety control for any dental procedure; in order to be appropriate the methods used must be considered for the individual patient having a specific treatment. A ‘one size fits all’ approach is inappropriate. A range of options is required1.
