Dental fear (also called dental phobia, odontophobia, dentophobia, dentist phobia, and dental anxiety) is the fear of dentistry and of receiving dental care. It exists in a considerable proportion of children and adolescents and is a major dilemma in pediatric dental practice. This study will involve the assessment of dental anxiety in 12 to 15 year old adolescents in a private school with permission from higher authorities. Dental anxiety will be assessed using a structured questionnaire containing the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale (CDAS). The reason for conducting this study is to help understand the dental anxiety in children at an early age and will help to take measures to reduce the associated fear.
