Summary

This observational study asks whether a parent can accurately gauge the pain their child feels during a dental local anaesthetic. Children aged 6 to 15 and their parents each rate the child's pain on a 0-10 scale after the procedure. The goal is to see if parents can serve as reliable external pain assessors, especially when a child cannot communicate clearly. The study focuses solely on local anaesthesia, one of the most anxiety-provoking steps in dental care.

If parents can reliably assess their child's pain, it could improve pain management in children who struggle to self-report.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study focused on perception, not a treatment trial. Results may not apply to all children or procedures.
