But larger dental spas offer revitalising facials, paraffin hand waxes, manicures, pedicures, reflexology and massage.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Los Angeles, businesswoman and actress Katrina Cameron now visits her dentist every three months like clockwork.  \u003cbr/\u003e\" It's always been difficult for me to want to go to the dentist.

\u003cbr/\u003eSimon is one of the most sought after cosmetic dentists in Los Angeles with some of Hollywood's big names as clients.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to Pacific Palisades veteran dentist, Dr. Lynn Watanabe and her husband John Chien, who formed the International Dental Spa Association in 2002, major cities like Los Angeles and New York are leading the way but it's still a new concept to many people.\u003cbr/\u003eAs president of the association, she says the main goal of the dental spa is not marketing on behalf of the dentist but a way to get anxious patients into their surgeries. \u003cbr/\u003eThey want patients to get over their fears and look forward to seeing the dentist. \u003cbr/\u003eDental journals indicate that up to 25% of the population is dentophobic, an anxiety disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to the Academy of General Dentistry, 25 million Americans have dental anxiety, and the US Surgeon General said in 2000 that if patients have increased access to dental health then their overall health will benefit.\u003cbr/\u003eFormer Mad TV comedic actress Deborah Wilson Skelton says she
