Being afraid of dogs isn't something to be taken lightly. Although dogs are supposed to be man's best friend - and although they've been the longest domesticated animal - that doesn't stop you from freezing in your tracks when confronted by a dog. Whether it's a seemingly friendly dog, wagging its tail, or a menacing one baring its teeth. So what can you do to overcome your cynophobia?
Treatment for bridge phobia consists of antidepressant or anti anxiety medications in conjunction with behavioral therapy to teach one coping mechanisms to employ whenever placed into a situation that would trigger the phobia. Another treatment is called desensitization. This works by putting yourself into the situation that triggers your anxiety a little at a time until it stops bothering you, then going a little further.
Exposure treatment has one of the higher success rates but is one of the scarier treatments, at least at first. As the name suggests, it involves exposing you to dogs. Which means that it is best carried out in a controlled environment, ideally with some friendly dogs! Depending on the therapist it could take place in one long session (maybe half a day or more), supported by counselling or over several sessions, spread out over time.Either way, you'll get closer to your new canine friend and will learn that they're not as threatening as you currently think they are. With most dogs the worst you'll experience is a cold nose rubbing against your face, an enthusiastic tongue licking you or muddy paw prints when the dog jumps up to greet you.

It will then proceed to help you examine how you deal with the idea of dogs in general and turn round these ideas so that you begin to realize that the majority of dogs are actually really keen on being friends with you and making sure that you're happy, relaxed and also protected by your new canine friend. They can turn on their menacing side if they want to but once a dog is on your side, you'll only see that side of their nature if another person hasn't got your best interests at heart.
Extremely shy individuals only feel at ease when family members and very close friends are around. However, situations where the people are unfamiliar or if they have to communicate with a group of new individuals are very difficult for them to deal with.

Bearing the pain and waiting until it is too late may lead to have your tooth extracted, and you will have another set of problems to face.Your teeth play a very important role in your overall appearance and self-esteem.
