- Brief Summary
Dental anxiety is fear associated with the thought of visiting the dentist for preventive care and dental procedures. Children with dental anxiety characterized by crying before dental checkup, tachycardia and aggressively clinging to the accompanying parent. It has been cited as the fifthmost common cause of anxiety by Agras et al. Dental anxiety may have major and long-lasting implications for the child and their family. Cohen et al reported that dental anxiety affects an individual's life in multiple ways. The physiological impacts included signs and symptoms of the fright response and feelings of exhaustion after a dental appointment, while the cognitive impacts included an array of negative thoughts, beliefs, and fears. Dental anxiety in children could remain a problem in adulthood if not handled properly thus it will affect oral health and psycho-social condition. This research is conducted to deliver different concepts in psychological and behavioral techniques in management of anxious pediatric dental patients.
