At last parents will not cringe at the thought of taking their child to thedentist. We now have detailed scripts and specific clinical techniquesat our disposal to help any interested dental practitioner learn exactlywhat 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 bookare successful 92% of the time. Only 8% of the children needed to betreated under general anesthesia. No crying, no restraints, no quietroom, children happy to return for recall, and their parents delighted.Readily learned by doctors and staff, a form of Cognitive BehavioralTherapy (CBT) adapted specifically for anxious children in the dentaloffice when combined with specific painless clinical techniques, detailedwithin, are the backbone of this handbook. I SPEAK FOR THE CHILD.
