2. Does watching educational videos before dental examinations reduce children's dental anxiety?
3. Does playing educational mobile games before dental check-ups reduce dental anxiety in children?

Primary Outcome Measures: anxiety level according to the child, We evaluated the effects of reading informative books, playing mobile games and watching videos after the dental examination on dental anxiety by measuring the Facial Image Scale (In the facial image scale consisting of 5 different faces, the happiest face is given a value of 1 while the unhappiest face is given a value of 5 and scoring is done according to the face chosen by the children.), after dental examination to 10 minute
Secondary Outcome Measures: child's anxiety level according to the researcher, We evaluated the effects of reading informative books, playing mobile games and watching videos after the dental examination on dental anxiety by measuring the Frankl Behaviour Scale, (Frankl Behavior Scale: is based on the observation, evaluation and scoring of the child's behavior by the dentist.

Each question has 5 answers and the answers are scored from 1 to 5 by the physician. A score of less than 13 indicates a low level of anxiety, 13-14 indicates a moderate level of anxiety, and 15 and above indicates a high level of anxiety. If the child is too young to understand the questions, the questions can be answered by the parent or caregiver.), after dental examination to 24 hour|children's anxiety levels according to heart rate, We evaluated the effects of reading informative books, playing mobile games and watching videos after the dental examination on dental anxiety by measuring the heart rate (It has been reported that pulse rate measurement is a reliable method for determining anxiety level. Increased anxiety level leads to increased heart rate.It has been reported that pulse rate measurement is a reliable method for determining the level of anxiety.

Pulse rates of 80-120 between 2-4 years of age and 75-115 between 4-6 years of age are considered normal in children.), after dental examination to 2 minute
