Latar Belakang: Transmisi SARS-CoV-2 melalui droplet dan aerosol menyebabkan praktik kedokteran gigi memiliki risiko penularan infeksi yang tinggi sehingga menimbulkan perasaan takut bagi masyarakat untuk melakukan kunjungan untuk perawatan ke klinik gigi. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan perceived susceptibility, sikap dan kepercayaan, hal-hal yang perlu diinformasikan agar pasien merasa nyaman untuk kembali ke klinik gigi, serta karakteristik sosiodemografi terhadap perilaku kunjungan ke klinik gigi di masa pandemi COVID-19. Metode: Studi cross-sectional menggunakan kuesioner online pada 420 masyarakat dewasa di DKI Jakarta yang pernah berkunjung ke klinik gigi. Hasil: Hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan bahwa perceived susceptibility, sikap dan kepercayaan, hal-hal yang perlu diinformasikan agar pasien merasa nyaman untuk kembali ke klinik gigi, dan status sosioekonomi masyarakat dewasa di DKI Jakarta memiliki korelasi yang bermakna secara statistik (p<0,05) terhadap perilaku kunjungan ke klinik gigi di masa pandemi COVID-19. Dari hasil analisis regresi logistik ditemukan prediktor tidak berkunjung ke klinik gigi di masa pandemi COVID-19 adalah perceived susceptibility, sikap dan kepercayaan, dan hal-hal yang perlu diinformasikan agar pasien merasa nyaman untuk kembali ke klinik gigi. Kesimpulan: Adanya pandemi COVID-19 menyebabkan mayoritas masyarakat dewasa di DKI Jakarta tidak berkunjung ke klinik gigi. Perceived susceptibility, sikap dan kepercayaan, hal-hal yang perlu diinformasikan agar pasien merasa nyaman untuk kembali ke klinik gigi, dan status sosioekonomi masyarakat dewasa di DKI Jakarta memiliki asosiasi dengan perilaku kunjungan ke klinik gigi di masa pandemi COVID-19.
