Summary

This study looked at whether music can help children aged 6-9 feel less anxious and experience less pain during a routine dental procedure (applying sealants). Each child had three treatments: one with no music, one with classical music chosen by the dentist, and one with their own favorite song. The researchers measured anxiety, heart rate, and pain levels. The goal was to see if letting kids pick their own music makes a bigger difference.
