## Abstract
Objective: To analyze the phobia and social anxiety of brushing their teeth among high school students in Palopo City, Indonesia, during COVID-19. Material and Methods: Social phobia was obtained with the MINI-Spin questionnaire and anxiety with the GAD-7 questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 15 questions with a Likert scale. Primary data type with logistic regression analysis. Results: The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that men are more likely to brush their teeth twice a day than women (OR=2.01; 95CI 1.3-2.9). Subjects who reported not having social phobia were not significantly (OR = 0.9; 95CI 0.6-1.4) more likely to brush their teeth twice a day than those who tended to have social phobia. Subjects who reported no significant anxiety (OR = 0.7; 95CI 0.5-1.5) were more likely to brush their teeth twice a day than those who tended to have anxiety. Conclusion: The frequency of brushing teeth in students who do not have a relationship is more likely to brush their teeth twice a day than students who tend to have phobias and social anxiety. Regarding the relationship between brushing teeth frequency and gender criteria, there is a relationship between female students brushing their teeth twice a day more often than male students during COVID-19.
