This research aimed to determine the influence of the dental anxiety of the accompanying person on the behavior and anxiety of children aged 6 to 14 years during dental care, conducted at the University of Norbert Wiener’s Dental Clinic. The study involved children aged 6 to 14 who came with their companions for dental treatment. The anxiety of the companion was assessed using the Modified Corah Scale (MDAS) in its Spanish version, the child’s behavior was evaluated using the Frankl Behavior Scale, and the child’s anxiety was measured using the Facial Image Scale (FIS). The sample consisted of 100 children and their companions. The study was descriptive and correlational. The results show that the child’s behavior was significantly associated with the anxiety level of the accompanying person. However, the child’s anxiety levels during dental care were not associated with the anxiety levels of the accompanying person. Overall, the companions presented a mild to moderate level of anxiety, with male companions showing moderate anxiety (77.8%), while female companions showed 39%. The behavior of the children was positive to definitely positive, and their anxiety level was mild to moderate. The research concludes that the child’s behavior is associated with the dental anxiety of the accompanying person. However, when correlating the child’s anxiety with the dental anxiety of the accompanying person, it was determined that they are not associated factors. The dental anxiety of the companion influences the child’s behavior but does not affect the child’s anxiety during dental care.
