Synopsis

At last parents will not cringe at the thought of taking their child to the dentist. We now have detailed scripts and specific clinical techniques at our disposal to help any interested dental practitioner learn exactly what to do and say to concerned parents and their very cautious children. This retrospective study was conceived and directed by Suher Baker, BDS, DMD, MS, MBA. Nine hundred and fifty-two children ages 2-12, were double blinded, placebo controlled, and randomized. The data, soon to be published, demonstrate the methods detailed in this book are successful 92% of the time. Only 8% of the children needed to be treated under general anesthesia. No crying, no restraints, no quiet room, children happy to return for recall, and their parents delighted. Readily learned by doctors and staff, a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) adapted specifically for anxious children in the dental office when combined with specific painless clinical techniques, detailed within, are the backbone of this handbook. I SPEAK FOR THE CHILD.
