Anxiety is an emotional response to a possible threat of danger, it is understood that the visit to the dentist is a situation that generates more anxiety, where many times the patient stops coming to the consultation being a consequence of this the abandonment of treatments and if we add to this the physical, physiological and hormonal changes that the pregnant woman goes through, the early diagnosis of various oral pathologies is not reached, causing future major problems for both the baby and the mother. Objective. - To identify the level of dental anxiety in pregnant women before dental care at the Calca-Cusco Health Center, 2022.
