    Dental anxiety is the patient's response to the specific stress of the dental situation, ranking fifth among the most commonly feared situations. It occurs in response to both internal and external stimuli, and can occur before and during the dental consultation. This study, which is observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive, aimed to evaluate the anxiety of mothers prior to their children's dental consultation. For this study, 100 mothers of patients aged 5 to 13 years who attended the Dental Clinic of the Universidad Wiener from August to November 2014 were evaluated, using a data collection instrument: Corah's Dental Anxiety Scale to measure the mother's level of anxiety. The results showed that 84% of the mothers experienced anxiety prior to the dental consultation, while 16% did not experience anxiety. It was also found that mothers aged 31 to 40 had low anxiety levels. Regarding the age and gender of the child, the predominant anxiety level was low. In conclusion, the majority of mothers exhibited low anxiety prior to their children's dental consultation.
