Anxiety refers to behavioural disorders associated with excessive fear and anxiety. Dental anxiety refers to excessive fear and anxiety at the thought of going to the dentist. This may cause patients to avoid dental treatments and may adversely affect oral health.
This study aims to evaluate the effects of hypnotherapy, virtual reality distraction and mindfulness-based meditation practices on dental anxiety during restorative dental treatment.
