The goal of this article is to stress the importance of understanding the presence of varying levels of pretreatment anxiety sensitivity to certain anticipated dental events and the role it plays as a predictor of anxious behavior and patient responses when individuals are confronted with fear-causing events, such as dental treatment. The varying intensity of anxiety sensitivity levels (ASL) in individuals serves to lessen or heighten the anxious and fearful response to potentially anxiety-provoking stimuli, such as pain. This level of anxiety sensitivity can often be traced back to the degree of knowledge or lack of information possessed by the patient regarding anticipated treatment and the practitioner's degree of acumen and completeness in history gathering. It has been suggested clinically that the level of anxiety sensitivity is directly related to the ability to predict whether or not treatment compliance will be achieved in an individual. Knowing the factors-either physiological or psychological-that are in play and that produce negative and aversive responses within a patient before and during treatment is key to solving these barriers to dental care.

If you took a poll of all the dental offices across the United States, their number one frustration would be the challenge of dealing with insurance claims. Dental benefits plans can have limited payment amounts, claims can get delayed or lost in the processing, and claims reviewers will often lower payment on a dental treatment by paying an alternate benefit. Filing claims and receiving reimbursement for them has remained a frustration for decades. With dental plans numbering in the thousands, there are countless confusing rules and regulations in the processing; there are exclusions, alternate benefit guidelines, specific policies, frequency limitations, and complicated contact information, to name a few. Needless to say many mistakes are made in filing these dental claims, causing the need for multiple submissions. This, in turn, can cause delays, resulting in an out-of-control accounts receivable situation. Dentistry has, for years, allowed patients to depend on them 100 percent for the accuracy of their dental benefits and the outcome of their dental claims. This should be a shared responsibility.

Census Bureau reports for 2007 and 2011 (before and after the last recession) were used to develop data for "average" dental establishments in the counties of Massachusetts. Any changes should be considered while bearing in mind the American Dental Association (ADA) 2013 report indicating that spending for dental services has stagnated. In terms of these findings, the need for continued monitoring of dental establishment activities beyond the confines of one's own facility is emphasized.
