Funded Activity Summary

Despite dental fear being one of the most common fears experienced by Australians, the etiology of this serious condition is still not well understood and both the prevention and treatment of dental fear are not widely or effectively implemented. This project aims to better understand the psychological processes at work in determining dental fear through further research as well as by gaining first hand experience at one of only a handful of dental fear research clinics in the world.
