Summary

This study looked at two fun ways to help children aged 6 to 9 feel less pain and worry during their first dental visit. One group played with a toy dentist set, another used virtual reality glasses, and a third group had no special preparation. The goal was to see if these activities make getting a numbing shot less scary and painful.
