Summary

This study looks at whether listening to music during dental procedures can help adults feel less anxious. About 60 adults will be split into three groups: one listens to music through headphones, one wears headphones without sound, and one gets standard care. Participants will fill out short anxiety questionnaires before and after their visit to see if music or noise-blocking makes a difference.
