Non- Pharmacological Behavior Management in Pediatric Dentistry

Non-pharmacological behaviour management techniques in pediatric dentistry aim to reduce fear anxiety and uncooperative behaviour in children without the use of drugs. These techniques focus on building trust and creating a positive dental experience. Common methods include Tell-Show-Do positive reinforcement distraction voice control modeling and parental presence or absence. Effective communication empathy and a child-friendly environment play key roles. These strategies not only help in successful dental treatment but also promote long-term positive attitudes toward oral health care.
