Abstract

Dental anxiety and dental fear are factors to be taken into account in a dental office and can lead to a vicious circle that favours the cancellation, avoidance or postponement of appointments with the dentist. If the patient with dental anxiety and/or dental fear has some type of mental disorder (anxiety disorder, adaptive disorder or mixed disorder, anxiety-depression), both clinical situations can be enhanced. Socio- demographic factors with a negative influence, such as a lower level of academic education, can be added to this.
