Summary
This study tests whether a special story, used in the classroom, can help autistic preschool children feel less anxious and more cooperative during dental check-ups. About 106 children will be split into two groups: one gets the dental story, the other gets a story on a different topic. Researchers will measure how long appointments take and how calm the children are, aiming to make dental care easier for kids with autism.
