Dental Phobia & Anxiety: a Guidance for a Better Management: Non Pharmacological Behaviour Management Abeer Al-namankany

Dental phobia/anxiety is a worldwide problem affecting all ages but far more common in children where the result can be very serious. Anxiety has been a major factor in many children refusing to have dental treatment until situation has gone too far. It is therefore prudent as clinicians we recognise, diagnose and treat this condition early to prevent complications. This book is aimed at giving you practical steps to understand more about measurement and treatment of anxiety/phobia in children and adolescents thereby treating more patients with reduced chair times and risks to general anaesthesia in avoidable cases.
