Objective: To evaluate the parents' view regarding factors influencing child behaviour in dental clinic. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among parents who brought their children to the Paediatric Dental Clinic in Malaysia.Parents completed a close-ended questionnaire (n=274). The questionnaire was divided into 4 separate categories. The questionnaire assessed parental views on the following 4 parameters: dentist, dental clinical settings, dental treatments and child related factors. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: According to parent's perception, dental treatment plays the most significant role on a child's behaviour in the clinic when compared to other parameters. No significant difference between the "yes" and "no" responses for dentist, dental settings and child related factors as agreed by parents. Conclusion: Parental attitudes are constantly changing as the society evolves. So it is important to reassess their beliefs regularly and update our understanding of their attitudes. This will help to modify and shape the patient's attitude toward dental care and dental caregivers.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dental surgeons in the city of Karachi providing treatment to pediatric patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practices of dental surgeons in the city of Karachi providing treatment to pediatric patients. A cluster-sampling technique was used and 200 dental surgeons from six different dental institutions were selected. A self-constructed questionnaire was distributed to the dental surgeons that comprised 20 closed-ended questions. The data was entered and analyzed for frequency and percentages by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19. The results showed that 76 (38%) dental surgeons took the responsibility of managing pediatric patient when given; 68 (34%) dental surgeons allowed the parents in the clinic; 111 (55.5%) dental surgeons are of the view that colorful and fun environment in dental clinic make the child at ease; 59 (29.5%) always demonstrate the dental procedure to the child to eradicate imaginary fears; 94 (47.0%) dental surgeons preferred the child to be treated in general anesthesia (GA) to avoid difficult behavior of the child; 135 (67.5%) dental surgeons did not show syringe needle or any instrument to the child. All the members of dental profession must be aware of patient perceptions, preferences, and fear to meet patient’s needs. Dental studies should include guidelines and techniques to train the upcoming dentists for excellent practice in pediatric dentistry.How to cite this articleWali A, Siddiqui TM, Khan R, Batool K.

“…However, child distress during medical and dental procedures is common and likely due to the child’s natural wariness of unfamiliar situations and people, immature communication skills, and developing emotional stability. (Cunha et al 2009) Medical procedures perceived to be necessary yet painful and distressing to young children, including immunizations, venipuncture, and cancer treatments, have been the subject of extensive investigation. (Blount et al 1991; Blount et al 2008b; Chambers et al 2009; Frank et al 1995; Mahoney et al 2010; McMurtry et al 2007; McMurtry et al 2010; Zhou et al 2013) The shared goal of these studies was to identify ways to reduce distress and disruptive behavior of paediatric patients.…”

Purpose This study examined factors related to young children’s distress during preventive oral health visits. Additionally, associations between parent-reported child behavior during the dental visit and during prior medical visits were tested. Methods One hundred twenty two children under 3 years of age enrolled in a government insurance program for low-income children were seen for examination, prophylaxis, and fluoride application at a university-based dental clinic. Child distress was rated by parents on a numerical rating scale. Results The average age of children enrolled was 23.5 ± 7.3 months. The majority (55.7%) were judged to have little or no distress pre-examination. Mild or no distress during the examination was reported for 42.6% of the children and severe distress was reported for 39.4%. Intensity of distress during the examination was not associated with the child’s age, gender, dental health, or prior experience with dental care. Distress was also unrelated to the caregiver’s education level or own dental health. Intensity of distress was associated with the child’s pre-dental examination distress and distress during prior medical examinations and injections. Conclusions Dental professionals can better anticipate child distress by assessing children before examination and inquiring about previous medical experiences. Strategies to prepare parents and alleviate distress may help children cope with the preventive dental visit.
