Dental anxiety in children remains a significant barrier to effective oral healthcare delivery, often leading to avoidance, uncooperative behavior, and compromised treatment outcomes. Pharmacological behavior management techniques, while effective, are associated with cost, side effects, and parental apprehension. Art therapy offers a non-invasive, low-cost, and child-centered behavioral intervention that utilizes creative expression to reduce anxiety, enhance emotional regulation, and improve cooperation in pediatric dental settings.This book presents the theoretical foundations, neuropsychological mechanisms, clinical applications, and evidence-based outcomes of art therapy as a behavior management tool in pediatric dentistry. Practical protocols, assessment tools, clinical case examples, and implementation guidelines are provided for dental practitioners, educators, and researchers.
