The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of friendly attire on dental anxiety among children visiting dental office in comparison with conventional attire. All of the children who will be experienced maxillary dental anesthesia with/without distraction will be assessed by using a combination of measures: Wong-Baker faces and the Children's Fear Scale (self-report), heart pulse rate, and behavior (using Anxiety levels using Face - Legs - Activity - Cry - Consolability "FLACC" scale "external evaluator") Acceptance will be measured using a two-point Likert scale.
This study will evaluate the effect of dental attire on children's acceptance of different dental treatments that include dental anesthesia. pain and anxiety will be evaluated during buccal and palatal infiltration using five behavioral scales, Wong-Baker pain scale, Children's Fear Scale and Children's Anxiety Questionnaire (self-report), pulse rate (physiological) and behavior (using FLACC behavior rating scale "external evaluator".
Heart pulse rate measurement will be recorded firstly when the patient is seated comfortably in the reception area, on dental chair prior to the injection, and finally after the procedure is done and the child patients will be asked to choose a face that describe their status from one of both Wong Baker faces scale, Children's Fear Scale and Children's Anxiety Questionnaire.
Body responses of all child patients will be recorded during the whole procedure and then will be evaluated by an external evaluator to determine the children behavioral score according to FLACC scale.

| Pain levels | Pain levels will be measured by using a self-reported simplified Wong-Baker faces pain scale: 0 no Hurt - 1 Hurts little Bit - 2 Hurts little More - 3 Hurts Even More - 4 Hurts Whole Lot - 5 Hurts Worst | 5 minutes following the dental local anesthesia. |
| Anxiety levels | This will be evaluated using the Face-Legs-Activity-Cry-Consolability (FLACC) scale (0 low anxiety and pain level - 10 high anxiety and pain level). | 1 minute during the dental local anesthesia. |
| Anxiety levels | This will be evaluated using Children's Fear Scale (0 indicating 'no anxiety' and 4 indicating 'extreme anxiety') and Children Anxiety Questionnaire (self-report) (4 indicating 'no anxiety' and 16 indicating 'extreme anxiety'). | 5 minutes following the meeting with the dentist in the reception area, and 5 minutes after the patient is seated comfortably on the dental chair |
| Pulse rate | Pulse rate (the number of times your heart beats each minute bpm will be evaluated using Finger Pulse Oximeter. | (1) five minutes after the patient is seated comfortably in the reception area, (2) five minutes after the patient is seated comfortably on the dental chair, (3) five minutes following the injection of the anesthetic drug |
