After providing informed consent, the accompanying parents completed a questionnaire assessing their attitudes towards oral health, barriers to dental care utilisation, OHL (Oral Health Literacy Adult Questionnaire) and their child\u2019s temperament (Emotionality, Activity, Shyness Temperament Survey for Children). Data on dental appointment cancellations, missed appointments, or discontinuations over 6\u00a0months were collected retrospectively from patient records. Participants with\u2009\u2265\u200920% cancelled or missed appointments or treatment discontinuation were categorised as nonattenders; the rest were attenders. The associations between nonattendance and parental OHL, child temperament and other factors were analysed using the chi-square test, Student's t test and multiple logistic regression analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 100 child patients, 47 were attenders, and 53 were nonattenders.
