Personality factors 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 preschool children during an initial examination visit. Measures of the children's developmental status and personality were collected during a home visit. Significant relationships emerged which suggest that personality development influences children's ability to tolerate dental stress.
