Brief summary: The aim of this study is to determine the possible anxiety reducing effects of lavender oil and orange oil on parents with children receiving dental care under sedation during perioperative wait.

Detailed description: Anxiety is a common problem for parents with children under sedation. It has long been known that operations, unconsciousness, the risks of the anesthesia and airway problems can cause a considerable amount of anxiety. Anxiety is associated with an uncertain psychological distress , and may vary to minor disturbances to extreme stress. The study aims to help parents improve their satisfaction by reducing their anxiety levels and ensure they have a better experience. In addition, anxiety can also prevent active participation of the parents during postoperative recovery. The physical and psychological effects of essential oils and traditional medicine practices as aromatherapy has been used for a long time and has potency to reduce using sedatives. Lavender oil is a fragrance that many of us have experienced in growing up at home and is also popular today. The lavender plant belongs to the Labitae family and has been used for centuries in dried or essential oil form. Lavender is obtained from flower heads and leaves with vapor distillation. This oil has also been specifically investigated and is an essential oil scientifically shown to reduce patient anxiety before various interventions. Orange oil is an essential oil produced by cells within the rind of an orange fruit (Citrus sinensis fruit). In contrast to most essential oils, it is extracted as a by-product of orange juice production by centrifugation, producing a cold-pressed oil. It is composed of mostly d-limonene. This oil has been investigated and shown to reduce anxiety and improve mood before various interventions.The anxiolytic effects of these essential oils has not been investigated for parents with children undergoing pediatric dental procedures under sedation.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of lavender oil and orange oil diffused in the perioperative waiting room of parents with children under sedation.
