Hi
thanks for your query
local anaesthesia just makes the area of interest painless and its very safe.
for small procedures child dosent need to be sedated .
child might be scared and might wail during the procedure but their wont be any pain.
Following the procedure child might need pain killer which they will suggest along with antibiotics.
Hope this is helpful
regards
