It is very rare for a schizophrenia patient to suffer delusions related to dental treatment, but such delusions do cause many difficulties for the dental treatment and management of the patient when they do arise. The authors present a case of a 60-year-old female suffering from untreated schizophrenia and complaining of delusional toothache combined with persecutory delusions, who has moved from dentist to dentist for the past 10 years. It is suggested that dental treatment for delusional patients becomes very difficult when the delusion involves elements of the dental practice itself, and that such patients demand inappropriate dental treatment due to their delusions.
