- NCT05217225
- Lead Sponsor
- Cairo University
- Brief Summary
Parents' dental anxiety is demonstrated as a significant indicator for children's dental anxiety and parents play a key role in children's anxiety and fear development.
Studies have shown that parents who are fearful and anxious about dental treatments are associated with an increase in the occurrence of caries disease in their children, since they are more resistant to accompany their children to the dentist.
People with a high level of dental anxiety, both children and adults, can be difficult to treat, take longer, and have behavioral issues, all of which can lead to a stressful and unpleasant experience for both the patient and the dental practitioner
