Puppy power in the Dentist's chair: can dogs calm scared kids?
NCT ID NCT07448714
Summary
This study tested whether having a friendly, trained therapy dog present could help children who are anxious or uncooperative during dental treatments. Researchers compared the behavior of 20 children aged 4-12 during two similar dental visits—one with a dog and one without. The goal was to see if the dog's presence made the children calmer and more cooperative, making the dental experience easier for everyone.
