This study compares two numbing methods for severe tooth pain (pulpitis) in a lower first molar. If you have a tooth that needs a root canal and the pain lingers after cold, this trial may help determine which anesthetic works better for you.
This study tests a new dental injector against a traditional syringe to see which one causes less pain and anxiety for children getting numbed for their first cavity treatment.
This study compares two ways of giving numbing medicine before removing a baby back tooth in children. It tests whether a special injection device (called Starpen) makes the injection more comfortable than a regular syringe, which may help your child feel less pain and fear.
This trial compares two ways to numb a painful lower back molar. If you have a tooth infection that needs a root canal, you may receive one of two injection techniques to see which works better.
This study compares a needle-free numbing device with the traditional syringe for removing baby teeth in children. The goal is to see if the needle-free method is less scary and more comfortable, which may help reduce dental anxiety in kids.
This study tests whether cooling the injection site and using a sweet-tasting solution before the dental numbing shot can reduce pain for children aged 7 to 11. If your child needs a dental procedure requiring a local anesthetic injection, this might help make the experience more comfortable.
