Pages 43-54 | Published online: 27 Feb 2024
 

ABSTRACT

Fear of dental pain or dental anxiety is not an uncommon phenomenon. Evidence supports dental patients’ concern for dental pain. This study examines the influence of dental pain and convenience of dentist’s office on attitude towards the dentist as well as the intention to switch to the dentist. The results reveal a strong effect of dental pain on patients’ attitudes. The intention to switch to a pain-free dental facility, however, depends on satisfaction with the current dentist.
