Resumo: |
Dental fear is considered a barrier for the achievement of dental treatments and it can effect negatively in the oral health of children. It is important to investigate the most associated factors to this condition. Objective: Describe the prevalence of dental fear in 5-year-old children and to explore its association with directly related factors to the child and the indirect variables, which are especially related to the mother. Methods: A crosssectional study in a birth cohort initiated in 2004 in Pelotas, Brazil. In the fifth year of life, a sample (n = 1129) on dental fear was investigated and measured through the use of the Dental Anxiety Question (DAQ). Socioeconomic, demographic and behavioral characteristics and dental service use of the mother were investigated as well as the dental experience and oral conditions of the children were assessed. Results: The prevalence of dental fear in children was 16.8%. In the final model, the following variables associated with the outcome were included: maternal education, family income, child gender, past dental experience, the presence of caries and pain, and reasons, location and the age of the child during the first dental visit, After the adjustment, the outcome was associated with the following conditions: the presence of caries, female gender and low family income. Maternal conditions, such as oral health, dental experiences and dental fear were not associated with the feeling of the child. Conclusion: the dental fear at the age of 5 was more associated with conditions directly related to the child itself. Among the indirect variables which are related to the mother, only the household income seems to be associated with the dental fear at the age of 5 |
