Kids' dentist fears melt away with simple video trick
NCT ID NCT07365774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a special video showing a child calmly going to the dentist could reduce dental anxiety in kids aged 8 to 12. Nearly 500 children in Depok City, Indonesia, were split into groups: some watched the video, some watched a regular educational video, and some watched nothing. Researchers measured their anxiety before and after using a standard scale. The goal was to see if the video modeling approach could make dental visits less scary for children.
