Now you are almost ready to answer the first question, but before that happens you need to be able to restrict your answer to particular publication years.
After PubMed has done a MeSH search (not a Major MeSH search) such as the one in this graphic,

add a date limit.
To do this click in the query box just after "Dental Anxiety"[MeSH]
Type a space.
Type AND.
Type another space.
the year of publicatione.g. 2003 followed immediately (without spaces) by [dp].
A search on dental anxiety as a MeSH limited to articles with the date published of 2003 will be
"dental anxiety"[MESH] AND 2003[dp]
Click on the Go button (or press Enter) to run the search.

PubMed will now find articles with the Medical Subject Heading dental anxiety that were published in 2003.
Notice the number of references found is reduced to 99.

Show me the movie of how to do this
To find references to articles published over a range of years
use a colon between the earliest and latest publication years.
e.g. 2001:2003[dp]

At the time of writing this limited the number of references found to 265.

Use your new skills to select your answer to the question and click on the Submit button.
Click on the OK button.
If you get the question wrong you can try again, but you are likely to get a slightly different question.
Make sure that you enter an answer to the question, even if you aren't sure of the answer.
If you don't answer the question you will be locked out of the question in future. It's better to put in a wrong answer than no answer.
If you have trouble with any question ask Mick Draper for help.
