Opis

This book focuses on the psychometric assessment of dental fear and anxiety in children, providing dentists with practical tools to recognize, evaluate, and quantify a child's level of dental fear. By offering evidence-based insights into various assessment methods and scales, it bridges the gap between psychological understanding and clinical application. The book emphasizes the importance of early identification of dental anxiety, as it not only affects the child's immediate cooperation but also has long-term implications on their oral health behavior. With clear guidance, case-based examples, and clinical applications, this resource helps dentists tailor individualized treatment plans, adopt behavior management strategies, and create a child-friendly environment that fosters trust, reduces anxiety, and ensures successful dental care experiences.
