Prague preschool children's perception of their dentists

Publication

Abstract

Aims: To assess preschool children's attitudes towards their dentists. Conclusions: The study described Czech preschool children's perceptions and preferences towards dental visits and dentists.

Dental anxiety of children was related to the age of their first dental visit (2.5 years in non-Prague children, 1.6 years in Prague children), previous dental treatment and place of residence. Identification of children's attitudes towards their dentists could help initiate positive changes to make dental treatment more comfortable for preschool children.
