Helen has taught other dentists about dental fear on postgraduate courses since 1997. She worked for many years with a consultant psychologist, Nick Kirby-Turner, pioneering the use of CBT with dental phobics. She and Nick have published articles in scientific journals on the treatment of dental fear. They are about to have their first book published on the subject. Helen gives workshops on dental fear at the Anxiety Disorders Conference which is organised by a group of charities every year.
