Barb Nelson is a business manager at an office that caters to people with dental anxiety. For a long time, no one knew she was one of the fearful.

There are a number of reasons people are fearful of dental procedures, just as there are reasons people have phobias associated with spiders, cobwebs, blood and heights.

"That, in and of itself, is a fear-reducer." more
