This study assessed dental anxiety in adults living in the Detroit tricounty area and identified factors associated with it. The prevalence of dental anxiety was 10.0 percent. Regression analysis revealed six factors associated with dental anxiety: unfavorable attitudes toward dentists, infrequent checkups, dissatisfaction with one's month, small numbers of filled surfaces, being female and lower income. Dentists should be aware of these factors when assessing dental anxiety in their patient populations.
