Resumo: Abstract Introduction: Dental treatment is an experience that elicits fear and anxiety in most people, and particularly in children. This fear is the first step to be overcome in the search for a satisfactory dentist-patient relationship. Aim: of this research was to assess fear and anxiety among children and their caregivers when faced with dental treatment and identify the main reasons behind these behaviors. Methodology: About 200 questionnaires consisting of nine multiple-choice questions and one open-ended question, to obtain additional information, were administered to male and female patients aged 4 to 13 years who were treated at a university pediatric dentistry clinic and to their respective caregivers. Results: show only one-third of children reported fear of the dentist. Pain, needles, and anesthesia were the main reasons behind their feelings of fear. Over 70% of interviewed children reported having experienced tooth pain at least once, which reinforces the importance of painful experiences as being associated with dental fear in a portion of these patients. Conclusion: that although dental fear was uncommon among caregivers, approximately one-third of children reported fear of the dentist, associated with perceived pain or needle phobia. Key words: Dental Anxiety. Fear. Child. Questionnaires. Caregivers.

Este medo é o primeiro passo a ser vencido na busca de uma relação dentista-paciente satisfatória. Objetivo: avaliar o medo e a ansiedade de crianças e seus respectivos cuidadores frente a um atendimento odontológico e identificar quais são os principais motivos que levam a esses tipos de comportamentos. Metodologia: Cerca de 200 questionários foram aplicados contendo 9 questões de escolha simples e 1 questão aberta de livre expressão, objetivando obter informações adicionais, em pacientes com idades entre 4 e 13 anos, de ambos os gêneros, que estavam em atendimento nas clínicas de odontopediatria da faculdade, assim como seus respectivos cuidadores. Resultados: mostram apenas 1/3 das crianças referem ter medo do cirurgião-dentista, sendo dor, agulha e anestesia os principais motivos desse sentimento de medo. Mais de 70% das crianças entrevistadas relatam já ter sentido dor de dente pelo menos uma vez, o que reforça a importância da experiência dolorosa vinculada ao medo do dentista de uma parcela destes pacientes. Conclusão: apesar do medo do dentista ser pouco frequente entre os cuidadores, aproximadamente 1/3 das crianças relatou o medo do cirurgião-dentista associado ao sentimento de dor ou à agulha.Submitted by ROBERTO PAULO CORREIA DE ARAÚJO (ppgorgsistem@ufba.br) on 2017-06-20T13:05:55Z No. of bitstreams: 1 2_v.13_2.pdf: 683129 bytes, checksum: 62a886af6db3016834c2512e375ec9a9 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2017-06-20T13:05:55Z (GMT).
