This cross-sectional study aims to validate two questionnaires: one measuring gagging related to dental treatment, and another assessing feelings of disgust and aversion. It also explores associations with self-reported experiences, including dental fear and a history of abuse. Gagging and disgust in dental settings are complex reactions that may hinder access to necessary care, affecting oral health and quality of life. The study includes two anonymous surveys: * Young adults from Vestland County, recruited via SMS * Dental and dental hygiene students at the University of Bergen Validated instruments were used, including DPSS-R, Predictive Gagging Survey, GPA, MDAS, and IOIF-s.
