Pre-visit imagery for children's dental care
Part of Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a tactile pre-visit imagery strategy to help children aged 4 to 10 years who have never had dental treatment before. The goal is to see if it reduces anxiety and improves their first experience with a filling or crown.
