REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARATION FOR CARRYING OUT NITROUS OXIDE AND OXYGEN DENTISTRY IN PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dental anxiety and fear are among the most common barriers to effective dental care in pediatric patients. Children often experience heightened emotional responses to dental procedures due to unfamiliar environments, fear of pain, and limited ability to understand or cope with treatment-related stress. These factors may lead to behavioral management difficulties, incomplete treatment, or avoidance of dental care altogether, which in turn increases the risk of oral diseases.
