Ways that children want to go to the dentist

Like a triangle, the child is placed at the top of the triangle, because it is the center of attention both by parents and dentists. Parents play a role in providing information to the dentist and to motivate children to cooperate with his doctor. With this concept there is no longer expected a scared child to the dentist.

Going to the dentist should not have to wait until the child has a toothache. Recommended when the teeth begin to grow should consult a pediatric dentist, and routinely control twice a year.

The problem, parents often complain about their children refused to be invited to the dentist. It would require a gradual approach in the formation of behavior. It is important prior to the dental treatment in children.

Approaches to child

• The technique of "tell, show, and do"

Explain to children about what care about what will be done by a doctor. Conversely, a pediatric dentist uses language that is easily digested by children, so children will also understand what doctors do.

• Modeling Technique

Is a technique used by psychologists in overcoming fear? This technique is used in a variety of dental care situation, but more often used to overcome a fear of dental examinations.

• Desentization

Train patients to relax, strategize, and introducing every action ranging from a few rise to rise to the fear of further action.

• Hand-over-mouth exercise

Generally performed on children who are not cooperative and tend to resist, a resist-resistance per child gently but firmly on the treatment chair, put your hands over the mouth of children so that children do not wriggle, accompanied by a soft whisper in the ears of children, saying that the hand will be released if boy stopped struggling. But there is no element of coercion, if the child becomes uncooperative give praise to the child. Of course, these techniques are adapted to children's teeth. If it be urgent, inevitably need to be tried.
