Abstract: Child fear often becomes a barrier for dentists to provide optimal care. Therefore, it is important for the dentists to establish good relationship with patients, especially children. Children who have positive interaction with the dentists can handle their fears and will not be afraid to the dentists, so they are expected to have good oral hygiene.

Samples were children aged 6-12 who had received dental treatment before. This was a descriptive analytical study with a cross sectional design. Data were obtained by using questionnaires and examination of OHIS. The results showed that of the 35 respondents, 23 children (65.7%) were not afraid of dental treatment (65,7%), meanwhile 12 children (34.3%) were afraid of dental treatment. There were 28 children (80%) that preferred female dentists to male dentists menawhile 7 children (20%) were the opposites. There were 23 children (65.7%) that liked dentists who used self protective equipment and 12 children (34.3%) did not. There were 21 children (60%) that had good OHI-S and 14 children (40%) that had moderate OHI-S. The Fisher alternative test showed a sinificancy of 1.000 for 2-sided (two tail) and 0.583 for 1-sided (one tail) (p˃0.05) Conclusion: There was no relationship between children’s feelings of fear against dental treatment and oral hygiene.
