During childhood, dental procedures have always been a nightmare for children and adolescents due to having fear of dental pain during the treatment. In most cases, children hide their dental problems from their parents for fear of going to dental offices and dental centers and do not reveal them until they are faced with a major dental problem, such as dental abscesses and other cases are encountered. Unfortunately, when parents become aware of this issue, it is too late in most cases and there is no treatment except tooth extraction. As we know, childhood dental anxiety and fear are most likely associated with procedures such as tooth restoration and tooth extraction. Hence, researchers have been thinking of a solution to overcome this problem for many years.
