How to Serve Patients Who Put Off a Visit to the Dentist Because of Fear
Wednesday, 3 June, 2026
42% of Americans put off the dentist indefinitely because of fear and most of them are already in your market. In this episode, Gary Takacs and Naren Arulrajah unpack one of dentistry's biggest untapped opportunities: the anxious patient. They cover why fearful patients stay silent, the psychology of control and the simple "stop signal" that puts patients at ease, sedation options worth knowing, and the SEO and landing page strategy for reaching patients who search "afraid of going to the dentist." Plus, a live discovery - men are far more likely to avoid the dentist than women, an underserved segment hiding in plain sight.
