Description
Abstract: This study explored differences between 107 adults (ages 26-79) and 134 young adults (ages 18-23) on fear of dental treatment. Subjects completed scales measuring general dental anxiety (DAS-R) and negative perception of dental stimuli (DFAS). A relationship between negative perceptions and anxiety levels was found in both samples (adult r=.67, p.001; young adult r=.74, p.001). However, dental fear scores were significantly higher [t(239)=5.28, p.001] in the young adult group (M=12.71, SD=5.71) than the adult group (M=9.31, SD=3.98). If health educators, psychologists and dental health providers are to manage this epidemic, identification and treatment of dental fear in young adults is necessary. **********
