Video-Enhanced Tell-Show-Do for Managing Dental Anxiety in Children

This study is the first of its kind to examine the effect of integrating the real oral environment with a video that supports the expressions used during the Tell-Show-Do technique (such as "we will see the cavity," "the cavity will drink juice to fall asleep," and "we will clean the tooth from the cavity"). This approach aims to enhance the Tell-Show-Do technique, build trust with the child, and reduce anxiety at the different stages of dental treatment in the clinical setting.

Effect of Vibrasthetic Device on Pain Reduction During Local Anesthesia in Pediatric Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to test if children aged between 6 and 14 years who are receiving a dental injection will feel less pain by using a vibration device applied to the injection site during the injection compared to vibrating the lip using only the researcher's hands without using the vibration device. It will also test if this device makes them feel less anxious during the injection. The main question it aims to answer is: Does using the Vibrasthetic device make dental injections more comfortable for children? Researchers will compare the effect of using this vibration device versus using their hands for manual vibration of the lip in the same child. Participants will: * Experience one method of vibration during their visit to the dentist (either the vibration device or manual vibration). * then after 2 weeks they will go to the same dentist again and experience the other method of vibration. * Receive the dental treatment they need in both visits. Participants will be asked to rate the pain they felt after the injection. This will be done by the participants choosing one of 6 pictures we will show them. Each picture explains the level of the pain they felt, and each picture has a score. We will score the pain the participants felt by looking at which picture they chose to describe their pain from the injection.
