title: [Dental anxiety and social stratification].
abstract: Self-reported dental anxiety in relation to sociocultural and socioeconomic variables were investigated in a random sample of the Norwegian population aged 15 years and older (n = 1351). Education, profession, number of years in school, family income and personal income were negligibly or not at all associated with dental anxiety. The only statistically significant difference in levels of self-reported dental anxiety in relation to social background factors was between female labourers (high level) and female functionaries (low level).
