Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether applying a sugar-free flavored sweet solution (SFSS) before local anesthesia helps reduce injection pain in children.

The main question it aims to answer is:

Does SFSS reduce pain during dental local anesthesia compared to a placebo (plain water)? Researchers will compare the use of SFSS and a placebo to see which results in lower pain scores.

Participants will:

Receive SFSS or placebo before local anesthesia during two dental visits Have their pain measured using self-reported and observational pain scales Have their heart rate monitored during the procedure
