The prevalence of dental anxiety (MDAS score of 13
or more) in the sample was 36%, with overall severity
represented by a mean score of 11.52 (SD: 4.88). Students
who visited their dentist more than 2 years ago had
significantly higher MDAS scores compared with those
who visited their dentist less than 2 years ago (t‑test,
P = 0.02). Compared with female students, a significantly
higher proportion of males indicated that their last visit
to the dentist was more than 2 years ago (17% vs. 30%,
respectively, χ2‑test, P = 0.002) [Table 2].
