The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using a puppet in dental visits for children is an effective behavior guidance tool. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does using a puppet to explain dental procedures to children during emergency dental visits lower their anxiety in a subsequent dental visit?
* Does using a puppet to explain dental procedures to children during emergency dental visits improve their behavior in a subsequent dental visit?
Researchers compared the effect of using a puppet to the traditional tell-show-do behavior guidance technique to see if the puppet is more effective in lowering their anxiety and improving their behavior.
Participants were randomly allocated into two groups:
* Group I: Children who received puppet play therapy in the emergency dental visit and in the subsequent dental visit.
* Group II: Children who received only the traditional tell-show-do behavior guidance technique in the emergency dental visit and in the subsequent dental visit.
