[Fee psychology].
The problem of dental fees is always a difficult issue to discuss because of the great subjectivity of the word money and its emotional load in the dentist-patient relationship. The teaching of dentistry with the emphasis on the technical aspects as a primary goal, usually neglects the study of the person and of the factors that lead to stressful situations in the dental practice. The author insists on the importance of analysing the objective handicaps and inner, unconscious, barriers in order to attain a more mature attitude in this matter, and also makes some considerations concerning fees in pediatric dentistry.
