This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether virtual reality eyewear can help children who are deaf or hard of hearing feel less anxious during dental cleanings. Researchers will compare two approaches: the standard Show-Do technique (where dentists show children the tools and explain what they'll do) alone, versus that same technique combined with wearing VR glasses that show engaging, age-appropriate animations and cartoons to distract from the dental procedure.
Many children feel scared during dental visits, but this fear is even more common in deaf and hard-of-hearing children because communication barriers can make them feel more confused and worried. Researchers want to know if the new treatment—virtual reality glasses—can help these children stay calmer and more cooperative during dental care.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive the standard Show-Do technique, where the dentist shows you the tools and explains the procedure. The intervention group will also wear virtual reality glasses during the dental cleaning that display fun, distracting animations and cartoons. Throughout your visit, researchers will measure your anxiety using a picture-based scale and by monitoring your heart rate and oxygen levels.
