Brief Summary   in this randomised controlled trial, we aimed to compare pain perception in pediatric children during administration of local anaesthesia. This study investigates the impact of using popsicles to pre-cool injection sites on pain perception in children receiving local anesthesia. It will involve children, randomly assigned to either a popsicle group, where injection sites were pre-cooled with popsicles, or a control group with no pre-cooling. Pain perception will be measured using different Pain Rating Scale immediately after the injection.
