Opis

Dental fear and anxiety in children play a significant role in hindering access to quality oral health care. Distraction techniques have been proved to play a pivotal role in the management of pain and anxiety. Distraction is achieved by diverting the attention of an individual or a group from an area of focus and thereby reducing the reception of desired information. It appears to be a safe and inexpensive strategy that can help to develop a positive response to the dental environment by alleviating fear and anxiety in young individuals. This in turn will improve the quality of dental care and also will aid in inculcating a positive dental attitude in children. This book explores the role of various distraction techniques that can be employed in Pediatric Dentistry practice.
