Behavioral Dentistry deals first with biobehavioral processes, including the psychobiology of inflammation and pain, oral health and quality of life, saliva health, and hypnosis in dentistry. The book goes on to examine anxiety, fear, and pain, and then techniques for designing and managing behavior change.
