Abstract

ABSTRACT: The child behaviour management in paediatric clinic is the way by which the dental health care team effectively and efficiently performs treatment for a child. To provide appropriate dental care for children good communication skills are necessary. Dental fear is a common, essential, and inevitable emotion that appears as a response to any kind of stressful situation, which raises children’s anxiety level, resulting in reduced demand for paediatric dental care. Behaviour management is widely agreed to be a key factor supplying dental care for children. TSD technique was modified into Tell-Play-Do (TPD) technique, using the concept of learning by doing in reducing children’s fear and anxiety to dental treatment and promoting adaptive behaviour.
