You've stuck your webs into my business for the last time! (Doc Ock in Spiderman 2)

There is no reason to have a spider phobia. They're quite harmless!

I have a friend who thinks of a Ferrari F430 or an Alfa Romeo when he hears the word 'spider'...

His wife, a vet, probably thinks of two body segments and eight legs...

I myself -a thriller freak- think of Along Came The Spider by James Patterson.

However, most people think of SPIDERS!!!!!! and are scared to death of them.


It's a fear that is commonly accepted, just like fear of dentists.

Once you are in a dentist's web, you're stuck, aren't you?

In our clinic, you're not. We are very experienced in treating anxious patients. Every time we think we have heard it all, another patient tells us what he/she went through and we have to admit it is even worse.

Phobia is one (big) step beyond fear and anxiety. It usually develops in late childhood, adolescence, or early adult life in response to a frightening situation. Dental phobia often comes from an earlier experience or it simply runs in the family, because children learn to fear.

We have proved to handle these things very well, but if you are looking for some information or support, please visit
