*1.3.1. Sociodemographics*

A majority of studies done reveal that females of all age groups, younger age and people who are classified to have low level of education are at more risk of having dental anxiety [2, 11]. The main reasons cited for the observed differences are more linked to environmental factors rather than biological makeup among children. However, Folayan and coworkers [13] revealed no differences in the prevalence of dental anxiety with sociodemography in children, while Minja et al. [11] showed no sex difference in their study among adults.
