Effectiveness of Virtual Reality vs Show-Do Technique on Dental Anxiety in Children With Hearing Impairment

This study compares two methods for reducing dental anxiety in children with hearing impairment: virtual reality (VR) — using a headset to show a calming, distraction environment — versus the standard "show-tell-do" technique, where the dentist explains and demonstrates each step before doing it. The goal is to find the best way to make dental visits less stressful for these children. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child has moderate to severe hearing impairment - Your child needs a routine dental cleaning (prophylaxis) - Your child appears to be in generally good health **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child has severe cognitive impairment or a developmental disorder - Your child is unable or unwilling to cooperate with the dental exam - Your child has conditions that would prevent safely wearing a VR headset Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
