A preschooler coming for her first dental visit will experience which basic type of fear?
Correct Answer: Separation anxiety
Description: The tight bond between parent and child at this early stage of emotional development is reflected in a strong sense of "separation anxiety" in the child when separated from the parent. If it is necessary to provide dental treatment at an early age, it usually is preferable to do so with the parent present and, if possible, while the child is being held by one of the parent.
