Dear Patient,
IODPT was founded to:
- Collect the best knowledge about how to help phobic patients like you.
- Certify the best dentist who can help you.
- Help you locate a properly trained dentist to help you overcome your fears.
We plan to get certified dentists around the world. If you don’t find a certified dentist in your area but know a dentist who helped you or someone else with your dental phobia, please recommend them to us and we will invite them to join our organization. Click here to use the Contact Form
How and Why IODPT was Founded
We founded this organization in May 2009 to become the first international dental group that shares knowledge about how to treat highly anxious and dental phobic patients behaviorally. There is scarce literature available and there are a limited number of professionals around the world who can properly treat and help these people without the use of drugs. We want to bring doctors together in order to share knowledge, discuss cases, share protocols for assessing our patient’s fears and share techniques to help them conquer their fears.
Members of our organization can become IODPT certified if they show adequate knowledge by presenting a number of different patient cases to our board. This certification shall be a valuable assurance that the patient is in the right hands. Another task of IODPT is to help phobic patients find help in their area. We plan to get certified members around the world.
