    Dental anxiety is a condition significantly affecting the population, manifesting as fear, worry, unease, etc., due to past experiences that hinder routine activities such as seeking dental care, leading to treatment abandonment, fear of dentists, and more. This issue has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to determine the level of anxiety among patients during dental care in the context of COVID-19 at the Cerdent Clinic - Miraflores, San Antonio branch, in 2020.
