Introducing CALM for Children and Young People
The CALM trial is a research project investigating ways to reduce children’s fear of the dentist.
Many children and young people feel worried or afraid about visits to the dentist. This project will look at different ways of helping young people overcome their dental fears. We want to talk to about 600 children and young people, and their parents or carers. Please watch the video below for more information and scroll down for a list of helpful questions.
