Objective To evaluate the effect of dental health instruction on dental anxiety of patients undergoing tooth extraction. Methods A total of 80 patients needing tooth extraction were randomly selected as the trial and control group, with 40 patients in each group. The modified dental anxiety scale （MDAS） was used to evaluate the dental anxiety degree of all patients at 30 min and 2 min before operation. The dental health instruction was given to the trial group between 2 evaluations. Results The anxiety degree of trial group at 2 rain before operation was significantly lower than that of trial group at 30 rain before operation （ P 〈0. 05） and that of control group at 2 rain before operation （ P 〈0. 01 ）. There was no significant difference between control group and trial group at 30 min before operation （ P 〉 0. 05）. Conclusion The dental health instruction was effective to release dental anxiety of patients undergoing tooth extraction.
