Thanks for your query on health care magic
From history it seems your child is injected with local anesthetic so that she does not have pain during cavity filling.
after local anesthetic injection for dental procedure it is common to have some swelling and drooling of saliva. You need not to worry for this because it will go by itself after few hours.
