These have been prominent in the world for many years and are currently considered a public health issue. Since the young population is an assiduous user of virtual inputs, it was sought to develop a mobile application (app) with the function of reducing the levels of dental anxiety in children before dental treatment and evaluate its effectiveness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An app, entitled \u201cHello, Dentist!\u201d, containing dental anticipation videos, was developed by a multidisciplinary team and evaluated. This app was tested in two children groups (dental and school settings), aged 6\u201310 years. Children and caregivers answered sociodemographic questions. In addition, to measure children's dental anxiety, they completed the Children's Fear Survey Schedule before and after app utilization. Control groups were utilized. A total of 100 children were included in this study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anxiety levels were statistically lower in the groups using the app when compared with their control groups (p &lt; 0.05). The effectiveness in reducing anxiety was greater when the initial anxiety values were higher, as seen in the dental environment group (p\u2009=\u20090.029). Dental procedures previously experienced, as well as the environment (dental or school) in which children were inserted, were factors that influenced their initial anxiety levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The creation and utilization of an app to reduce dental anxiety are feasible and effective.
