Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if listening to music during dental procedures lowers anxiety in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are: does music during the procedure lower dental anxiety, and does wearing headphones without audio to reduce ambient noise also lower dental anxiety. Researchers will compare three groups to see these effects: music via headphones, headphones without audio, and standard care without headphones or music.

Participants will:

* Complete a short anxiety questionnaire before the dental procedure.
* Receive one of the three approaches during the procedure: music via headphones, headphones without audio, or no headphones/music.
* Complete a short anxiety questionnaire after the dental procedure.
