BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental anxiety in a group of children aged 3 to 5 years and to explore the relationships between dental anxiety and general fearful nature of the child.
MATERIALS & METHODS: A total of 250 children were selected for the study after due selection via inclusion criteria. Pre-school anxiety scale by Spence and Rapee (1999) was used to assess the general fear of the child and was filled by the parent during the first visit. Venham's anxiety scale was used to assess the dental anxiety which was seen during routine dental examination of the child on his first visit.
RESULTS: The results were statistically analyzed using Chi square test and Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation.
CONCLUSION: It was concluded that 24% of children showed association between high level of dental anxiety and high level of general fear; 56% of children also exhibited high level of dental anxiety with moderate score of general fear and 20% of children exhibited positive correlation between low level of dental anxiety and fear.
