Comparative StudyDental anxiety in a students' paediatric dental clinic: children, parents and students.
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the dental anxieties of children, parents and student caregivers in a dental school environment. ⋯ Students' dental anxiety, or their anxiety prior to treating a child, may not be directly associated with the child's dental anxiety. However, a positive correlation exists between parental and children's dental anxiety.
