    Children’s preferences for pediatric dentist attire align with what they commonly see in clinics. This study compared preferences in Israel, Spain, and Uruguay, finding attire influenced choices more than gender.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Child Psychology
    • Cross-Cultural Studies

    Background:

    • Conflicting data exists on how professional staff attire affects children in pediatric dental settings.
    • Understanding these effects is crucial for improving patient experience and reducing anxiety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare children's and parents' preferences for pediatric dentist gender and attire across three countries.
    • To investigate cultural influences on these preferences.

    Main Methods:

    • A multi-centered study involving 570 children (aged 4-12) and their parents in Israel, Uruguay, and Spain.
    • Participants chose preferred dentists from images depicting varying gender and attire (white coats, casual, surgical scrubs, pediatric scrubs).

    • Children's preferences mirrored the attire commonly worn by dentists in their respective clinics.
    • In Israel, white coats/casual attire were preferred; in Spain, surgical scrubs with female dentists; in Uruguay, surgical/pediatric scrubs.
    • Parents showed a preference for female dentists and pediatric scrubs more than children did.

    Conclusions:

    • Children's attire preferences for pediatric dentists are significantly influenced by their exposure to common professional apparel.
    • Cultural context and existing clinic norms play a key role in shaping these preferences.
