For Parents
When a Dental Procedure is Required
Pediatric dentists are specially trained in many behavior modfication techniques.
In-office conscious sedation is an alternative to restraining a child, or general anesthesia in a hospital operating room.
Other behavior modification techniques for patients not requiring conscious sedation or general anesthesia may involve:
- Tell - Show - Do
- Distractions with videos
- Modeling in an "open bay" setting
In our open bay, children sit next to other children receiving similar non-invasive procedures.
