Summary
This study tests a new treatment called neVR Fear the Dentist™ to help people who are very afraid of going to the dentist. The treatment has two parts: a mobile app with proven fear-management techniques, and a one-hour virtual reality session done at the dentist's office. About 250 people aged 13 and older with high dental fear will be randomly assigned to either this new treatment or the usual care their dentist provides. The goal is to see if the new approach reduces fear and improves quality of life related to dental visits.
