First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study looked at whether having a certified therapy dog in the room helps children aged 3-7 feel less anxious and behave better when getting a numbing shot at the dentist. About 41 kids took part, and researchers compared those with a dog present to those without. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
