Summary
This study looked at whether showing children videos or giving them sensory toys can reduce pain and anxiety when they get a numbing shot at the dentist. 100 healthy children aged 4-6 who had never been to the dentist before took part. Some kids got a distraction (visual or sensory), while others got none. The researchers measured pain and anxiety using child-friendly scales and heart rate monitors.
