Summary
This study looks at whether having a turtle in the room can help children aged 6 to 10 feel less anxious during a routine dental checkup or simple treatment like fluoride application. Researchers will measure anxiety using questionnaires and heart rate, comparing children who have a turtle present with those who don't. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to make dental visits easier for kids.
