The purpose of the study was to assess how children felt after dental treatment when receiving a popsicle or a toy. Each patient received either a popsicle or a toy after dental treatment on the first visit, and the other on the second visit. A significant difference (p=0.0235) was found 10 minutes and thereafter 30 minutes after dental treatment. More children reported feeling better when they received a popsicle than when they received a toy.
