Abstract
Dental fear and anxiety lead to major obstacles and undesirable distresses such as avoidance of dental treatment [1]. Anxiety associated with the thought of visiting the dentist for preventive care and over dental procedures is referred to as dental anxiety. Fear is a reaction to a known or perceived threat or danger. It leads to a fight-or-flight situation. Dental fear is a reaction to threatening stimuli in dental situations. Children often are not able to deal with the threatening dental stimuli which manifest as behaviour management problems to the dentist.
