It is known that both procrastination and self-compassion are associated with health behaviours in the sense that the former reduces them and the latter increases them. It is also known that regular visits to the doctor and especially to the dentist are part of a healthy lifestyle. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of procrastination and self-compassion on dental attendance. For this purpose, a new questionnaire was designed and confirmed by means of an explorative factor analysis. The results show that procrastination has an influence on dental attendance, even when the influence of dental anxiety is excluded. No conclusion can be drawn about the influence of self-compassion on dental attendance.These results open up a new area in which procrastination plays an important role and which has been neglected until now. The study emphasises the importance of further research into procrastination behaviour in the health area, in order to be able to minimise it in the long term
