ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying whether using a ventriloquist puppet can help reduce anxiety and stress in children during dental visits. The researchers want to find out if this fun and engaging tool works better than the usual methods dentists use to help kids feel more comfortable. They will also watch for any medical problems that might happen if children take a certain medicine called drug ABC during the study.
The trial is looking for healthy children who need dental treatment but have not had very bad dental experiences before and do not need major dental surgery. If a child joins, they will either spend time with the ventriloquist puppet during their visit or receive the regular behavior support used in dental offices. This study aims to make dental visits less scary and more positive for kids. The trial has not started recruiting participants yet.
