Important in finding apprehension related to noise in dental offices among children.

Abstract


A normal unpleasant emotional reaction to specific frightening stimuli related to dental treatment is called dental fear, whereas dental apprehension or anxiety is an extreme and perverse emotional condition experienced by patients visiting the dental office. Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) refer to strong negative emotions related to dental treatment among children. Many studies suggest that the anxiety-provoking stimuli include the view of the needle, odor of various dental materials, and sound generated in the dental office. The present study aims to assess apprehension related to noise in the dental office among children aged 6-15 years. Corah's dental anxiety-based survey questionnaire was circulated amongst the study subjects. The results suggest the sound generated in the dental office leads to apprehension, thus attributing to evasion of dental treatment.
