Puppy power: dogs calm kids with autism at the dentist
NCT ID NCT05577234
Summary
This study tested whether having a therapy dog present during dental appointments could help reduce anxiety in children with autism spectrum disorder. Researchers worked with 50 children aged 6-17 who had autism and high dental anxiety. They measured whether two sessions with a therapy dog helped children stay calmer during a third dental visit without the dog present.
