Dental Anxiety and preventive dental care in 102 Patients in a oral surgery practice

Abstract

The dataset contains questionnaire responses from 102 patients. These patients (42 males and 60 females with a mean age of 40.3 years) visited an oral surgery practice in Saxony, Germany, between December 2019 and June 2020. They completed the Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) questionnaire, as well as answering six questions on preventive dental care. Examples of these questions are “How many times a day do you brush your teeth?” and “How often per year do you have your teeth professionally cleaned?”. The patients' gender, age, marital status, educational background and occupation were also recorded.
