Interventions
Patients will receive 320mg (10ml) Acetaminophen (Strawberry flavour), wait for 30 minutes after the administration, then they will be given the local anesthesia injection. Then the child will be asked to point to the face that fits the degree of pain on the self-reporting pain scale WBFS immediately after the injection. The tooth will be extracted 10 minutes after the injection, then the child will be asked to record the degree of pain on the same scale immediately after the extraction. Pain will be re-evaluated 15 minutes after the extraction. The scale will be given to the parents in order to evaluate the post-extraction pain in 1 to 6 hours while the child is at home. Parents' satisfaction will be evaluated using Likert fifth scale.
