ABSTRACT


Aim

To examine the relationship between self-reported parental rearing style, parent's assessment of their child's dental
anxiety and the dental history of children.

Methods

Parents of primary school children were asked to complete
questionnaires about their parenting style, using four different questionnaires. Parents also completed the Child Fear Survey Schedule
Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) on behalf of their child and a questionnaire about the dental history of their child.

Results

454 interview
forms were available for analysis. Minor associations were found between dental anxiety and parenting style. Anxious parents were
more permissive and less restrictive in their parenting style. Parents of children who did not visit their dentist for regular check-ups
reported more laxness and less restrictiveness. Children who had a cavity at the time of investigation, children who had suffered from
toothache in the past and children who did not have a nice and friendly dentist reported more dental anxiety.

Conclusion

No clear
associations between parenting style and dental anxiety were found. Known causes of dental anxiety were confirmed.
