At the heart of a tool they immediately start pounding and it becomes very scary. A dentist should include drills, these women are afraid, the emotional equivalent of a load on the body of a powerful stress. But that's not all. Research specialists from Sydney found that women forty and over, especially react even to the common word "dentist" - it gives them an attack of panic. Trying to find an explanation for such a strong sense, experts have carefully studied the history of the disease and found a pattern: it turned out that visiting the dentist is particularly painful concern for those people who have experienced violence, personal injury.
These people, according to analysts, are willing to endure toothache in spite of everything. While the bulk of the people stands toothache no more than three days, the most persistent can tolerate up to 17 days in a row - the stronger the fear of the dentist, the longer do not go.

But the boy was willing to tolerate her, but would not go to the dentist. Mom had to go to the trick to bring the child to the hospital. But once in office, the boy cried out and began to kick, so that it seated in a chair two adults, mother and physician.
After much persuasion, the child finally agreed to open his mouth so the doctor could "just look at the teeth." But at some point, Pavlik saw a dentist in the hand syringe. To explain to the boy that it was harmless anesthetic solution was useless. When a "terrible" tool tip Pavlik suddenly turned pale, she sobbed convulsively and lost consciousness. Bring the child to life and failed. In anticipation of "ER," which caused a sense of urgency, Pavlik in dentistry were trying to administer first aid, he did artificial respiration, but to no avail.
