Abstract
Ratings of fear in the dental situation indicate that high fear and low fear patients rank the fears associated with the dental situation in about the same way (p = 0.98). Also, the attitude of the dentist is important to the patient, and may, partially, determine his attitude toward dentistry.Keywords
