Key Stone Entity in Paediatric Dentistry: Tell Play Do

Abstract

The child behaviourmanagement in paediatric clinic is the way by which the dental health care team effectively
and efficiently performs treatment for a child. To provide dental care for children good communication
skills are necessary.Dental fear is a common, essential, and inevitable emotion that appears as a response
to the 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.
