Abstract

Dental fear and anxiety (DFA) are prevalent psychological issues that significantly affect patients undergoing dental procedures, particularly in the context of tooth extractions. These emotional responses can range from mild discomfort to severe distress, influencing patients’ willingness to seek dental care and potentially leading to avoidance of necessary treatments. A prospective and descriptive clinical study was performed on. All patients who underwent the conventional dental extraction. DA levels were assessed by virtue of the modified dental anxiety scale (MDAS) and dental fear survey (DFS). Tests were made in an isolated room preoperatively. The differences in anxiety levels according to age and gender were also evaluated. Understanding the psychological aspects of dental fear and anxiety is crucial for improving patient outcomes, enhancing the overall dental experience, and fostering a more positive therapeutic relationship between dentist and patient.
