The goal of this observational study is to learn whether children who come to a pediatric dental emergency clinic have higher dental anxiety than children who come for routine dental care. The study includes children aged 2 to 13 years attending the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkiye. The main question it aims to answer is: Do children attending an emergency dental visit (because of dental pain, abscess, facial swelling, or dental trauma) have higher dental anxiety scores than children attending a routine dental visit? Researchers will also look at whether dental anxiety is related to age, sex, previous dental visits, previous local anesthesia, and tooth decay experience. Participants will: * Have a parent or guardian fill out a short form about the child's age, sex, and dental history * Receive a routine dental examination to record tooth decay (dmft/DMFT index) * Answer the 4-question Turkish version of the Corah Dental Anxiety Scale during a single visit No extra treatment or intervention is given as part of this study.
