According to the American Dental Association Redheads are twice as likely to avoid the dental chair. This is no wonder being a recent article in National Geographic Magazine states that a mutation in the skins melanocortin-1 (which causes their hair color) may inadvertently activate similar receptors in the brain that process anxiety and pain. Evidence has shown redheads can be more resistant to anesthesia and require more gas. We are happy to be made aware of this recent article so we can make our redheads in the office as comfortable as possible.
