Background: The aim of this study is to offer suggestions for the spatial arrangement of the waiting area, which is one of the factors that may cause dental anxiety and anxiety in children coming for dental treatment. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 34 senior interior architecture students taking the Health Buildings and Office and Construction Site Internship Course at Selçuk University, Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Interior Architecture in the 2023 2024 Fall Semester. Interior design suggestions that would reduce and/or eliminate dental fear and anxiety were requested from 8 different student study groups for the pedodontics waiting area and corridor surfaces of Selçuk University, Faculty of Dentistry. While the suggestions are being presented, the suggestions for waiting areas for children's dental fear and anxiety, which are included in scientific studies prepared in disciplines such as architecture, health and psychology, constitute the basis of the study. A mixed method was used in the study, based on literature review, observation, photography, survey, design and space analysis. Results: In order to minimize dental fear and anxiety, interior design in waiting areas that appeals to visual, auditory and tactile senses, and allows playful and experiential activities and socialization, is a positive distraction for children and can provide a calming effect, according to various scientific studies. Supported by. Conclusions: Based on the finding that waiting rooms designed for children can reduce their anxiety, it has been concluded that the creation of "child friendly spaces" in healthcare buildings is frequently mentioned in scientific studies as having a positive impact on both the child, the parent and the treating physician. For this reason, it should not be overlooked that improving the space by involving designers (architects/interior designers) for waiting areas in similar healthcare buildings can make a positive contribution to the treatment process of patients.
