The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of friendly attire on dental anxiety among children visiting dental office in comparison with conventional attire. All of the children who will be experienced maxillary dental anesthesia with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker faces and the Children's Fear Scale (self-report), heart pulse rate, and behavior (using Anxiety levels using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") Acceptance will be measured using a two-point Likert scale.

Full description

This study will evaluate the effect of dental attire on children's acceptance of different dental treatments that include dental anesthesia. pain and anxiety will be evaluated during buccal and palatal infiltration using five behavioral scales, Wong-Baker pain scale, Children's Fear Scale and Children's Anxiety Questionnaire (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator".

Heart pulse rate measurement will be recorded firstly when the patient is seated comfortably in the reception area, on dental chair prior to the injection, and finally after the procedure is done and the child patients will be asked to choose a face that describe their status from one of both Wong Baker faces scale, Children's Fear Scale and Children's Anxiety Questionnaire.
