| Pain perception during local anesthetic infiltration. Timepoint: the effect of the 2 interventions will be measured during the injection of local anesthesia infiltration. Method of measurement: in this study, comparing the effect of nitrous oxide inhalation and oral hydroxyzine on reducing pain perception of 3-8 year old children during local anesthesia infiltration. The outcome variable is to be measured using the FLACC scale. The FLACC scale will be measured during the anesthesia injection. A video is to be taken during the anesthesia injection, so that 2 observers will measure the FLACC separately. | — |
