Child-rearing variables affecting the preschool child's response to dental stress

L L Venham et al. J Dent Res. 1979 Nov.

Abstract

Responses to dental stress were evaluated in 26 pre-school children during an initial examination visit. Child-rearing practices, assessed by home observation and parental report, were correlated with the dental stress measures. Significant relationships emerged which suggest that child-rearing practices influence the child's acquisition of coping skills and stress tolerance.
