Furry friends fight fear at the dentist

NCT ID NCT06725134

Summary

This study is testing if having a friendly, trained therapy dog nearby helps children feel less anxious and behave more calmly when they get a numbing shot at the dentist. Researchers will compare children's reactions and heart rates during the shot with and without a dog present. The goal is to see if this simple, comforting presence can make dental visits easier for kids.
