Abstract

Objectives: To study the behavior and anxiety of 4-8 year-old patients during the first dental visit, relating this behavior to parenting practices. Material and methods: A non-experimental cross- sectional clinical study was designed. The selection of patients was initially carried out by means of a non-probabilistic consecutive convenience sampling. A questionnaire was given to the parents before the visit, and subsequently the child’s evaluation was carried out through observation to determine the level of anxiety and the type of behavior of the child. Results: 18 children aged between 4 and 8 years participated in the study. 72.2% of the participants had a “restless” anxiety level and 27.8 “relaxed”. 72.2% had a “slightly positive” behavior. The majority parenting style was “authoritative” with 83.3%. No statistically significant difference was seen between the children’s anxiety level and behavior at the first dental visit and parenting style (p> 0.5). Conclusions: The children’s anxiety level is not influenced by the parenting style, however, a better behavior has been seen in the first dental visit in children with authoritative parents.
