Abstract

Fears and anxieties are part of the normal development of a child, and, as a rule, developmental fears and anxieties are transient. However, for some children, dental fears and anxieties persist and become persistent and problematic. Many different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the development of CVD in children; however, there is general agreement that the aetiology of childhood CVD is multifactorial. Endogenous sources of CVD are internal factors that make people susceptible to the development of dental anxiety. It is important to understand that the influence of close family members can help or hinder treatment. Endogenous factors that can increase a person's susceptibility to CVD include genetic vulnerability, personality traits, age and gender. A high level of CVD among young people is associated with social, emotional and behavioural problems, general anxiety and the temperamental trait of negative emotionality. Having fears and anxieties is considered part of a child's normal development and follows a consistent and predictable pattern of adult life. Poor communication between the dentist and the patient not only contributes to the development of CVD but plays an important role in maintaining dental anxiety. Therefore, all members of the dental staff must be aware of how their behaviour can affect children.
