Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if audio-visual method of distraction is useful to control the pain and fear associated with dental treatment in children. The main questions it aims to answer are: • How their body reacts-such as changes in heart rate, oxygen levels, and certain chemicals in their saliva-before and after getting local anesthesia? Researchers will test two types of glasses that display cartoons to help children feel less anxious. Participants will: * Have an introductory visit to be more familiar with dental environment and their cooperation will be tested. * In the next 2 visits they will wear either of the glasses while receiving local anesthesia * Saliva will be collected, and their heart rate and oxygen levels will be calculated each time
