The Digital Dentist

Novocain, or the administration of local anesthetics is safe for children because they are trained by sedation dentists and they promote pain free dental care treatment.

There are some procedures the doctor might do to make a child comfortable inside the dental clinic.
During the injection, place the child in a reclined position. Gently put the anesthetic gel or spray on the gums for a minute. Pulling and shaking the lip of the child is a distraction technique as the needle will slowly be inserted. The injection of the anesthetic drug is now a painless one. It will take a little time for the anesthetic to work that usually lasts for five minutes.
