The Effect of Teledentistry on Dental Anxiety in Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1. 1Since this trial is already completed, would my child's dentist be able to share or apply any of the findings about how teledentistry reduced dental anxiety in children, even though the enrollment period is over?
2. 2This study measured dental anxiety both by how children reported feeling and by physical signs like heart rate and oxygen levels — does my child's dentist currently use any similar tools to track anxiety during visits, and would that change how they plan treatment?
3. 3The trial compared teledentistry to a standard approach for anxious children — based on what's known so far, would a video or remote pre-visit consultation be something worth trying before my child's next in-person appointment?
4. 4Since this was listed as Phase NA, meaning it was more of a behavioral or procedural study than a drug trial, how confident can we be that teledentistry-based anxiety reduction is safe and practical for my child's specific situation?
5. 5Are there other established techniques for managing dental anxiety in children that my child's dentist already uses, and how would they compare to the teledentistry approach tested in this trial?
