Dental experience as a factor on dental fear Francis Xavier Z. Leonidas. 31 leaves Seminar Paper--Doctor of Dental Medicine--University of the Philippines Manila. Dental fear is one of the most common fears among ordinary individuals. Studies show that there are various major factors that could trigger its attack. Sources of dental fear that were identified stem from actual. experiences, from childhood misconception, or from influences such as that of media. Unfavorable previous dental experience would most likely discourage a person from seeking needed dental care. The main goal of this study was to find out if there is a relationship between the most recent favorable' dental experience and dental fear. Questionnaires were administered personal 1 y to each of the 2:00 Grade VI pupils from Colegio de las Hijas de Jesus and Calumpang Elementary School in Iloilo City, Data obtained from the survey were tabulated and were statistically tested and analyzed using the Chi-Square Test with 0.05 level of significance. It was proven that the most recent favorable experience diminishes the- presence of dental fear. Dental Anxiety. Dentistry Psychological aspect. Vila, Agnes L. (Adviser).
