Brief Summary

Psychological support may be needed to help patients in the face of emotional disturbances that may be associated with the outbreak and to help them accomplish their fear and anxiety. Due to the increasing fear of COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic, patients may develop treatment avoidance behavior in dental practices. If the fear and anxiety levels of the patients can be determined, it may be easy to offer special approaches to them.
