Summary

This study tested whether a sugar-free sweet-tasting solution applied before a dental injection could reduce pain in children aged 6-12. Fifty-four kids received either the sweet solution or plain water before local anesthesia. Pain was measured using child-reported and observer-reported scales, along with heart rate. The goal was to find a simple, non-drug way to make dental shots less painful.
