TV Presenter Kelly Osbourne has revealed her dental phobia on her Twitter page. 

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne tweeted “I have to go get my fillings today and the fear is really kicking in. I need to get over this fear of the dentist but I can’t”.   

Kelly is not alone in her phobia, as other celebrities such as Robert De Niro are known to be frightened of the dental chair.

A recent survey conducted by the British Dental Health Foundation discovered that one of four people do not visit a dentist due to dental phobia.  

Sunita Verma from Sparkle Dental Boutique says “Many people are still frightened of seeing a dentist and this is such a great shame as dental practices have changed enormously. The great news is that at Sparkle Dental Boutique there are many dental distractions within the practice which make your dental visit easy, comfortable and relaxed. Our aim is to make your dental check up a routine part of your daily life.”
