Our research focuses on improving dental visits for children by using innovative technologies like virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). These tools help us make dental care less intimidating and more engaging, particularly for children with special needs such as autism. We aim to transform dental visits into a more positive experience. This approach not only alleviates anxiety but also enhances the overall effectiveness of dental treatments.
