Pediatric dentists need to be well oriented to manage each child and modify behaviour management protocols to match to their abilities and understanding. A key to behavioural guidance is setting attainable intermediate goals, clearly outlining for the child how to achieve those goals and positively reinforcing success in achieving these goals.
