Dental anxiety is recognized as one of the major public health problems.

Overall prevalence of dental anxiety was 23.9% with less prevalent in adolescents (13.3%), more prevalent in preschoolers (36.5%), and schoolchildren (25.8%).

Methods for managing anxiety in dentistry are both pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Aromatherapy is one of the non-pharmacological methods, it is a Simple, inexpensive, non-invasive method introduced by the use of aromatic essential oils through the sense of smell to produce positive physiological effects, relaxation and relieve anxiety symptoms. Aromatherapy can also decrease pain perception during local anesthetic injections in children.

The flowers of this plant are large, showy and colorful. for its scent, it is also used in the production of essential oil and rose water.
