Thursday, April 13, 2023 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs

Dear John,

health care. In a new episode of the podcast

Executive Producer Don Lee interviews Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief
Alan Weil to discuss the past, present, and future of Medicaid
transformation.

Overcoming Dental Anxiety

[link removed]


Studies show 15-19 percent of people have dental anxiety-feelings
that can lead to delay or avoidance in vital dental care.

In Health Affairs' newest Leading To Health feature, author Charlotte
Huff highlights researchers in Philadelphia who are testing a cognitive
behavioral intervention
<[link removed]>
to address dental care anxiety in patients.

Dentist Marisol Tellez Merchan and psychologist Eugene Dunne, who both
teach at Temple University's Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry,
are "testing a computer-based intervention that incorporates several
cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure therapy, to treat
patients' dental anxiety."

The aim of the study is to inform how dental assistants can deliver
interventions to patients in the office before their appointment,
or-eventually--even before patients arrive.

While the in-office approach would miss patients who never show up in
the first place, teledentistry, which has become more common during the
pandemic, can support patients suffering at home.
