Feeling of apprehension and anxiety in unknown environment is quite common.
This feeling can develop into fear that may get multifold when children are aware that there is a concern, e.g. kids that are told that the have a cavity or those who come in pain. Knowing that these genuine fears do exist, its important to address them. The philosophy of Pediatric Dentistry is not only to treat the tooth, but to actually address the concern at the pace acceptable to the child. Its never recommended to enforce the treatment for the young child, as it can break their confidence to be in the dental chair.

Fear management with Tender Love Care , Tell Show Do, Slow approach, behavior modification approach, Neurolinguistic Programming, Using “No Drill”, “No Needle” Laser Dentistry and multiple other combinations, is a must in order to instill positive dental attitude for lifetime.
