Behavior Management Pediatric Dentistry
Behavior Management Pediatric in Federal Way
Pediatric dentists have a special place in their hearts for children. Working with children every day, we have learned the language style to help ease patients into conversation and to increase their comfort. Sometimes we use silly words to describe dental tools and procedures which allow children to help us teach them the paramount significance of taking care of their teeth and just how fun that can be!
At Federal Way Pediatric Dentistry special vocabulary is proven to allay the fears of both parents and children alike!
The following are the techniques that we will use to manage a child’s behavior:
- Modeling
- Communicative Management
- Non-verbal Communication
- Tell-Show-Do
- Positive Reinforcement
For example, sometimes showing a child how the “tooth polisher” or “Mr. Thirsty” will feel on their finger may be all that is needed to allow kids to trust us to clean their teeth!
Federal Way Pediatric Dentistry are joyful and knowledgeable all of the time with kids and adults. Our Dentists are totally focused and practicing on their interpersonal skills with children so that they can easily manage children behavior during their dental procedures and with happiness children can respond to treatments which is the necessity of Pediatric Dentists. We check your kid’s oral health and complete examination with their understanding so that they can respond to dental treatments as much as they can.
As part of behavior management for any nervous patients, we have multiple conscious sedation options available.
1. Nitrous Oxide Sedation also known as “Laughing gas” Sedation
2. In Office General Anesthesia with an Anesthesiologist.
If any of these are indicated in treating your child, we will explain everything in detail when we review your treatment plans.
