Relationship of Maternal Anxiety to the Behavior of Young Children Undergoing Dental Extraction

RONALD JOHNSON 1 and DEWITT C. BALDWIN JR. 1

1 Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Children's Hospital Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, and Forsyth Dental Center, Boston, Massachusetts

A significant relationship was observed between the behavior of 60 children (3 to 7 years old) undergoing a dental extraction and the anxiety level of their mothers as measured by scores on the Taylor manifest anxiety scale. The results of this investigation indicated that, in this sample, maternal anxiety appears to be a major factor affecting the behavior of young children experiencing dental extraction.
