The MCDASf is self-reported dental anxiety measure effective among children aged 5-12 years.11 The scale has eight questions about 'going to the dentist generally,' 'having teeth examined,' 'teeth being scraped and polished,' 'injections in the gum,' 'fillings,' 'having a tooth taken out,' 'being put to sleep for treatment,' and 'having a mixture of gas and air that will help you feel comfortable for treatment but will not make you sleep.' The scores of each question ranged from 1 'relaxed' to 5 'very worried.' The scores are also represented by cartoon faces varied according to emotions and anxiety levels.
