Brief Summary  

The study will use distraction methods in children of age 4-8 years requiring administration of inferior alveolar nerve block. Distraction cards, virtual reality glasses and precooling vibrating device will be used as distraction methods. By using this distraction method anxiety levels, behavior and pain perception will be assessed by Modified Child Dental Anxiety Scale (MCDAD(f)); Venham’s Behavior Rating Scale; Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability Scale (FLACC); Wong Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale (WBFPRS) will be used prior to  and during local anesthesia administration.
