how to calm an anxious child?
Pediatric dentists have special training in helping anxious children feel secure. Pediatric dental offices are designed for children. Pediatric dentists will use a technique known as “Tell-Show-Do”. For example, a dental instrument will get demonstrated by using it to count your child’s fingers, then will apply the instrument in treatment. Coaching, distraction and parent participation are other possibilities to give your child confidence in dentistry. But by far the most preferred technique is praise.
