Summary
This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) with calming scripts can reduce anxiety and pain during wisdom tooth extraction. Sixty adults aged 18-65 who need at least two lower wisdom teeth removed will either get standard local anesthesia alone or local anesthesia plus VR. The goal is to see if VR helps people feel less stressed and experience less pain during the procedure.
