Numbing Gel for Children's Dental Pain and Anxiety
Part of Mental health, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a numbing gel applied to the gums can reduce pain and anxiety for children getting dental treatment. It looks at children who are having a filling or similar procedure on a back upper baby tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 6, 7, or 8 years old.
- Your child should be cooperative and calm during dental visits (based on a standard behavior score of 3 or 4 out of 4).
- Your child has never had a numbing shot at the dentist before.
- Your child needs a filling or other treatment on a specific upper back baby tooth (the second molar) — but not for an emergency like a toothache.
- Your child is generally healthy, with no serious medical conditions or disabilities.
- A parent or guardian must sign a permission form.
