The study evaluates the traditional Tell-Show-Do (TSD) technique versus an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, avatar-based video method called the \"Mini Dentist.\"\n\nChildren aged 5 to 7 years who require local anesthesia for routine dental treatment will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The control group will receive the conventional Tell-Show-Do explanation from the pediatric dentist. The experimental group will watch a short animated video featuring an AI-generated avatar that explains and demonstrates the procedure in a child-friendly manner before the injection.\n\nAnxiety and behavior will be assessed using heart rate monitoring, behavioral observation (FLACC scale), and a self-reported pain scale (Wong-Baker FACES).
