Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the reliability and factor analysis of the Gujarati version of the Children's Fear Survey Schedule–Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) and to examine responses of children. Materials and methods: The sample comprises 300 children in the 8–14-year age-group, examined irrespective of gender, socioeconomic status, and race. The questionnaire was translated into Gujarati, and content validation was conducted by a Gujarati subject expert. The Gujarati version of the questionnaire (CFSS-DS) was administered to participants after obtaining consent from their parents to evaluate fear. Participants received training to independently complete the questionnaires. Results: Comparison between the two groups shows that fear of opening the mouth is higher in males, while fear of a stranger touching, somebody looking, choking, and people in white uniforms is higher in the female group and is statistically significant. Comparison between the two age-groups shows that fear of dentists, doctors, the sight of a drill, the noise of a drill, inserting instruments inside the oral cavity, choking, and people in white uniforms is higher in the ≤11 age-group and is statistically significant. Conclusion: The Gujarati versions of the CFSS-DS are both reliable and valid instruments for assessing dental fear in young children. The CFSS-DS exhibited strong internal consistency among Gujarati children, with a Cronbach's α of 0.83.
