Summary

This study looks at whether simple toys like play dough, slime, or stuffed animals can help children aged 6 to 10 feel less anxious and experience less pain during dental procedures. Ninety children will be split into groups, each getting a different toy or no toy, and their anxiety, pain, and stress levels will be measured. The goal is to find easy, non-drug ways to make dental visits better for kids.
