Abstract

A Swedish version of the Dental Subscale of Children's Fear Survey Schedule (CFSS-DS) was designed to be answered by parents on behalf of their children. The instrument was administered twice to the parents of 52 children aged 4 to 14 years. The children's behaviors were rated during the dental appointment immediately after the second administration. The CFSS-DS reached high values for test-retest reliability and validity. Scores equal to or exceeding 38 were found to be related to dental fear.
