title: [Burden and power. 3. Problems of dental patients].
abstract: For many people a dental visit is a burden, for some a too heavy one. Reasons for either or not making dental visits are considered. Many regular dental attenders are not very interested in their teeth and in many persons avoiding a dentist a disinterest in the teeth is absent. The behavior during dental treatment seems largely to be influenced by pain, feelings of defenselessness, absence of social support and of coping abilities.
