Summary

This study tests whether listening to nature sounds—like ocean waves and bird songs—during a dental filling can reduce anxiety and fear in adults aged 65 and older. Participants will be randomly assigned to hear nature sounds, white noise, or no sound at all. Researchers will measure anxiety and satisfaction before and after the procedure to see if this simple, non-invasive approach helps.
