Despite the technological advances made in modern
dentistry, anxiety about dental treatment and fear of pain
associated with it remain prevalent. The impact that DA can
have on an individual’s life is broad and dynamic, leading
to the avoidance of dental care and unwanted effects,
such as sleep disorders, low self-esteem, and psychological
problems. Fear of visiting the Dentist is common, even
among adults, and is one of the most important issues for
dentists regarding child and adolescent patients.
