Introduction: Regardless of the technological and skilful advances in dentistry, DFA remains a predominant cause reducing dental attendance. When tobacco users are aware of the stigma associated with the habit and fear being criticized or penalized, this avoidance is heightened. DFA varies in accordance to different parameters: SES being an important one. Aim: To examine the impact of SES on DFA in a sample of Ahmedabad’s children who consumed tobacco. Materials and Methods: In order to create two study groups of higher and lower SES; each with 100 children consuming tobacco, 1523 students between the ages of 11 and 12 from government and private schools underwent screening. The study used a self-report questionnaire with WBFPS to rate DFA. To analyse the data, SPSS software version 24.0 was utilized. Results: 90% of higher SES tobacco users scored higher while 96% of lower SES tobacco users scored lower in the questionnaire used. Conclusions: The level of SES was directly proportional to the DFA in children using tobacco.
