This paper aims at identifying the impact of the educational program to alleviate the psychological fears resulting from dental treatment for students of the college of Education.

To verify the objective of this paper, three null hypotheses were formulated.

A sample of 40 male and female students was randomly selected from student at the third year in the department of computer science/college of Education/ university of Mosul.

The sample was divided equally into two groups; the first represented the experimental group and the second experimental the control one.

The experimental design of pretest/post test was chosen to verify the objective of this paper.

The two groups were equivalent in variables of age, academic level of parents and grade in the family.

The researchers construct a measurement for the psychological fears resulting from dental treatment.

The face validity of the scale was obtained through consulting a jury of experts.

The reliability was computed by re-test and obtained (0.81).

The researchers also construct an educational program of (11) lectures.

The face validity of the program was verified after consulting a jury of experts.

The collected data were treated statistically by using Pearson correlation formula, Chi-square and T-test of two dependent and two independent groups.

The results shows a statistical significant difference between the mean scores of the pretest and post test of the experimental group and for the benefit of pretest.

The results indicated the elimination of psychological fears resulted from dental treatment.

The results also presented a statistical significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group after applying the educational program and for the benefit of the control group.

The results indicated non statistical significant difference between the main scores of the experimental group (male/female) after applying the educational program.

In the light of the results, the researchers set a group of recommendations and suggestions.
