Should Parents Remain with Children During their Dental Treatment?
Abu-Hussein Muhamad
The dentist must understand that the parental presence in the operatory has to be viewed in the
child-behavioral perspective. The presence of parent/s can affect the child-behavior positively, negatively
or insignificantly. Also, the ‘parental separation’ must be considered a behavior modification method
that can be employed to achieve child-cooperation. Thus, a firm decision has to be made by a dentist
regarding the same by the dentist in each and every child’s case after assessing the child-behavior
sufficiently. It has to be the decision of the dentist and not of the child and/or parent/s; whether parent/s
stay in the operatory with the child or not.
