Summary
This study compares two ways to help children aged 6-10 feel less anxious and experience less pain during their first dental treatment. One group plays a virtual reality game that explains the procedure step-by-step, while the other group receives the standard tell-show-do method. Researchers will measure anxiety and pain using questionnaires and heart rate monitors. The goal is to see if the VR game makes dental visits more positive for children.
